Authors

More about the book

Xenophon, a soldier and mercenary from Athens, is renowned for his historical writings and philosophical insights, particularly regarding Socrates. His participation in the 401 BC expedition against Persia, documented in Anabasis, chronicles both the military campaign and the return journey. Exiled for his allegiance to Sparta, he settled in Elis, where he wrote Anabasis. His work Hellenica serves as a vital historical source for Greek events from 411 to 362 BC, while his Socratic writings are unique surviving examples of the genre, complementing Plato's dialogues.
