Anabasis: The March of the Ten Thousand

By Xenophon

About Anabasis "In this region the ground was one long level plain, stretching far and wide like the sea, full of absinth. [...] As the army wended its way through this region, they reached the river Mascas." 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.
