Produktinformationen "Anabasis"

Xenophon's Anabasis recounts the ill-fated expedition of Cyrus the Younger against his brother, Artaxerxes II, and the perilous retreat of the Greek mercenaries after Cunaxa. Combining military memoir, ethnographic observation, and political reflection, its lucid Attic prose exemplifies classical restraint: direct, practical, and alert to terrain, morale, and command. In the tradition of Herodotus and Thucydides, it transforms campaign narrative into an inquiry into leadership, Greek identity, and survival beyond the polis. Xenophon, an Athenian aristocrat and disciple of Socrates, wrote from unusual experience. He joined Cyrus's army, emerged as one of the leaders during the retreat, and later lived in exile, partly because of his Spartan sympathies. These circumstances shaped his fascination with discipline, prudence, hierarchy, and the moral authority of capable commanders, themes that recur throughout his historical and philosophical writings. Anabasis is indispensable for readers of ancient history, military literature, and political thought. Accessible yet profound, it offers both an adventure of extraordinary endurance and a subtle portrait of command under crisis, rewarding anyone interested in how narrative can preserve action, judgment, and character.
