Produktinformationen "Anabasis"

Xenophon's Anabasis recounts the extraordinary march of the Ten Thousand, Greek mercenaries stranded deep within the Persian Empire after the death of Cyrus the Younger at Cunaxa in 401 BCE. Part military memoir, part ethnographic travel narrative, it combines lucid Attic prose with a disciplined eye for terrain, command, diplomacy, and survival. Within the context of classical Greek historiography, the work stands between Herodotean curiosity and Thucydidean analysis, offering a practical, unsentimental account of leadership under crisis. Xenophon was not merely the narrator of these events but one of their principal actors. An Athenian aristocrat, soldier, student of Socrates, and later associate of Sparta, he brought to the Anabasis a distinctive mixture of philosophical training and military experience. His concern with prudence, persuasion, discipline, and moral authority reflects both Socratic habits of inquiry and the hard lessons of campaigning among divided Greeks and wary non-Greek peoples. This book is indispensable for readers interested in ancient warfare, leadership, imperial geography, and the formation of historical prose. It rewards both specialists and newcomers with a narrative that is brisk, intelligent, and remarkably immediate. Anabasis remains a classic because it turns retreat into revelation: of character, politics, and the fragile art of collective survival.
