Description

Anabasis, a true tale of adventure in ancient Greece, recounts Xenophon's perilous journey with Cyrus the Great. Despite initial reservations, Xenophon joins the army and becomes one of its leaders as they attempt to conquer Persia.

After the leader is killed in battle, the army faces an uncertain future, but Xenophon proves himself capable of making decisions and leading them through treacherous terrain. Theirs is a 'marching republic,' where survival depends on their ability to fight their way back home.

This epic account of endurance and hardship remains an entertaining read, exemplifying Socratic philosophy and the valor of remarkable warriors. Printed on premium acid-free paper, this edition follows H. G. Dakyns' translation.
