Description

Xenophon’s History recounts just about fifty turbulent years of warfare in Greece between 411 and 362 BC. Continuing the tale of the Peloponnesian War on the point where Thucydides finished his magisterial history, this can be a fascinating chronicle of the conflicts that in the end led to the decline of Greece, and the wars with both Thebes and the would possibly of Persia. An Athenian by birth, Xenophon become a firm supporter of the Spartan lead to, and fought against the Athenians within the battle of Coronea. Combining history and memoir, this can be a brilliant account of the triumphs and screw ups of city-states, and a portrait of Greece at a time of crisis.
