So I am thinking of doing a highly unhistorical ancient greek campaign. I've already decided that I will severely limit the races (human being the only core race allowed) and that I will make being from a certain city give adjustments much akin to a race. I am also putting Atlantis into the mix. Anyone have any other suggestions to flesh it out?

Well, you could look at this for inspiration.

I've always felt that worshipping a god should have a "crunch" effect, and since the greek gods were always meddling... I came up with bonuses granted by various gods. Here are the Greek ones I came up with (I have Norse and Egyptian too.
Zeus: +1 bonus to cha-based skill checks
Poseidon: +1 bonus to ride, profession (sailor), and balance checks
Hades: +2 to intimidate checks, +1 to profession checks +2d10 starting gold
Apollo: Light sources provide 100% more light (this includes magical light cast by the person with the God-touch), +1 bonus on perform checks
Artemis: Range increments with all weapons increases by 10 feet
Athena: +1 to any circumstance bonus to attack (flanking, surprise, etc.)
Haphaestus: Grants proficiency with one unknown weapon, all armor bonuses are increased by +1
Hera: +2 damage during flanking attacks or a sneak attack (if a sneak attack, scales with sneak attack dice)
Hermes: speed increases by 10 feet

You should also place the campaign in the middle (or just before) of a great conflict.
like the Peloponnese war( it was the great civil war), or the Persian war or maybe the Great Alexanders campaign to Persia

A Greek campaign seems the perfect place to use Iron Heroes, setting apart the Hectors, Achilles and Agamemnons from ordinary men.
yes, iron heroes ruels here. and the new spelcaster from the players companion also works very nicely with the seting, beign able to use sacrifices in spelcasting and all.
