About this title

Synopsis

A desperate march across hostile lands. The fate of thousands hangs in the balance as Greek mercenaries, stranded deep within the heart of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, struggle to reach home. Xenophon's Anabasis stands as the definitive eyewitness account of the legendary Ten Thousand retreat-a tale of endurance, leadership, and the clash of civilisations that shaped the ancient world. This annotated classics edition, expertly prepared by Charles Forster Smith, brings the first four books of Xenophon's classical Greek text to life for both scholars and self-motivated readers. With a thoughtful introduction, detailed notes, and a comprehensive vocabulary, this volume is equally suited as a college Greek textbook or a companion for self-study in ancient Greek. Readers are drawn into the Persian expedition narrative, tracing the perilous journey through unfamiliar wilderness and the tense encounters between Classical Greece and Persia. The Anabasis is more than a Greek war memoir; it is a vivid portrait of camaraderie, strategy, and survival, echoing the works of Thucydides and Herodotus in its scope and insight into ancient military history. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are captivated by the drama of the Greek mercenary march or seeking a cultural treasure for your library, this edition of Xenophon's Anabasis offers both timeless narrative power and scholarly precision.
