More about the book

Xenophon, a soldier and admirer of Socrates, chronicled his experiences during the 401 BC expedition against Persia led by Cyrus the Younger. His notable work, Anabasis, details both the military campaign and the perilous journey home. Following his exile from Athens, due to his service under the Spartan king Agesilaus, he settled in Scillus, near Olympia, where he wrote this significant historical account. His writings provide insight into Greek history and philosophy, reflecting his unique perspective as a participant in key events of his time.
