Excerpt from Xenophon Anabasis: With an English Translation by Carleton L Brownson
Xenophon"s Anabasis is the story of the expedition which Cyrus the Younger led against his brother Artaxerxes II., king of Persia, in the hope of gaining for himself the Persian throne; of the retreat to the Euxine Sea, after the death of Cyrus, of the "Ten Thousand" Greeks who had made part of his army; and of their ultimate return to western Asia Minor.
Cyrus undertook his ill-fated expedition in 401 B.C. Before that time he had played a somewhat prominent part in Greek history.
