Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a journey through the landscape of the Peloponnese in 401 B.C. after the end of the Peloponnesian War. As the war drew to a close, a Greek force of 10,000 mercenaries found themselves stranded in hostile territory without a commander and without pay. Struggling to survive, they elected new leaders from amongst their number, and chose Xenophon, the book's author, as one of their generals. With a mix of fear, hardship, and resilience, these soldiers began their march back to Greece. Xenophon's vivid prose brings to life the harsh landscapes and courageous spirit of this band of warriors, as well as the political intrigue and human drama that accompanied their journey. Beyond its historical value, the book explores universal themes of courage, discipline, and perseverance in the face of adversity, offering a fascinating glimpse into the military and cultural norms of ancient Greece. Its insights remain relevant today, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in ancient history, leadership, or the human spirit.
