Anabasis

Опис

"Anabasis" by Xenophon is a historical account written around 370 BC. It chronicles the harrowing journey of ten thousand Greek mercenaries stranded deep in Persia after their employer, Cyrus the Younger, dies attempting to seize the throne. Betrayed and leaderless in hostile territory, the Greeks must fight their way north through deserts and mountains toward the Black Sea. Xenophon, elected as one of their leaders, recounts this epic march for survival—a tale that became one of history's greatest adventures and inspired military leaders for generations.
