Anabasis

Anabasis

by Xenophon

The Anabasis is a historical account written by the Athenian historian Xenophon. It chronicles the journey of a group of Greek mercenaries who were hired by the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger to help him overthrow his brother, Artaxerxes II. The mercenaries, led by Xenophon, marched from Sardis in Asia Minor to Babylon and back again after Cyrus was killed in battle. The Anabasis provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Greece and Persia, and is considered one of the greatest works of military history.
