About Anabasis: The March Of The Ten Thousand
Unique Elements Author Biography About Anabasis “It was now mid-day, and the enemy was not yet in sight; but with the approach of afternoon was seen dust like a white cloud […]. As they came nearer, very soon was seen here and there a glint of bronze and spear-points.” Anabasis is a historical account in seven books by Ancient Greek soldier and writer Xenophon, composed in 370 BC. This edition features the english translation by Henry Graham Dakyns, published in 1892. Also known as The March of the Ten Thousand or The March Up Country, it tells the epic tale of the expedition of a great army’s journey across Asia Minor and Mesopotamia in 401 BC. Hired by Cyrus the Younger to help him seize the Persian throne from his brother Artaxerxes II, this is a fascinating first-hand account of the ten-thousand-strong army’s harrowing journey, led by Xenophon, appointed as one of their leaders after the death of their commander. Anabasis is perhaps Xenophon’s best known work, and narrates one of human history’s great adventures.
