I read the Henry Graham Dakyns translation |
"Anabasis" – sometimes translated as "The March of the Ten Thousand" –
is Xenophon's autobiographical account of the tribulations of an army of Greek
mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger to fight against his brother, Achaemenid king
Artaxerxes II. Cyrus is cut down by a javelin in the Battle of Cunaxa, and the
Greeks are left stranded and surrounded by enemies with no supplies, shelter,
or even pay1.
