La Retraite Des Dix Mille, De Xenophon Ou L'expedition De Cyrus Contre Artaxerés; Volume 1 [French]

By Xenophon Atheniensis

La Retraite des Dix Mille, or Anabasis, recounts the journey of a band of Greek mercenaries through Persia. This volume details Cyrus the Younger's expedition against Artaxerxes. Written by Xenophon, an Athenian soldier and historian who participated in the events, this historical account offers invaluable insights into military strategy, leadership, and the challenges faced by the Greeks in unfamiliar and hostile territories. The narrative emphasizes the resourcefulness and courage of the Ten Thousand as they navigated treacherous landscapes and overcame numerous obstacles. This edition, translated by Nicolas Perrot d'Ablancourt, makes Xenophon's classic work accessible to a modern French-speaking audience, preserving its historical and literary significance.
