Description

Xenophon's Hellenika is a comprehensive and authoritative translation of the primary source for the events of the final seven years and aftermath of the Peloponnesian War. Written by Robert B. Strassler, this edition brings together the key works of Xenophon, including the Hellenika, Herodotus, and Thucydides, to provide a detailed narrative of the military and political history of classical Greece. Beautifully illustrated and heavily annotated, this edition includes a comprehensive introduction, sixteen appendices written by leading classics scholars, and an extensive timeline/chronology to clarify the complex period. The translation is accompanied by explanatory footnotes and a table that correlates passages of the three works, providing valuable insights into Xenophon's reliability and quality as a historian. With its unique combination of primary sources and scholarly commentary, this edition is the most readable and comprehensive available of an essential history.
