Xenophon
Xenophon was an Athenian country gentleman born about 430 BC. He may have helped to publish Thucydides’
History, and certainly wrote his own
Hellenica as a continuation of it. By his own (probably reliable) account he was a fine officer and outstanding leader, but his admiration for Sparta and devotion to Socrates, among other causes, led to his banishment. He was given an estate at Scillus and settled down to enjoy the life of a landed aristocrat, and it was during this period that he began to write histories, biographies, memoirs and specialist treatises. The defeat of Sparta in 371 forced him to move to Corinth where he probably lived for the rest of his life.
Xenophon's 'Anabasis: The March of the Ten Thousand' is a gripping firsthand account of the ancient Greek mercenary army's treacherous journey through enemy territory. Written in a clear and straightforward style, the book serves as a historical narrative of survival and leadership, filled with vivid descriptions of battles and the challenges faced by the soldiers. Xenophon's attention to detail and strategic insights into military tactics make this account a valuable resource for understanding ancient warfare and the realities of a mercenary's life in the 4th century BC. The 'Anabasis' is not just a war story, but also a classic of Greek literature that showcases Xenophon's ability to weave together history, philosophy, and adventure in a compelling narrative. Readers will be transported back in time to experience the thrill and danger of this epic journey alongside the Ten Thousand, gaining a deeper understanding of ancient Greek culture and military practices.
