I basically had no modern history in a academic setting pre-this round of grad school.
Wow. My entire historical education was pretty much centered on the post-1400 years; anything I know about the Greeks, Romans, Dark/Middle Ages, etc., comes from my own study. (And, considering I find the most recent six centuries the most interesting, that's fine with me. ;))
The Greco-Persian war, however, that I can tell you all about :)
