Hellenica

Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a

 pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans,

 and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land

 and property in Scillus, where he lived for many

 years before having to move once more, to settle

 in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.


The Hellenica is his chronicle of the history of

 the Hellenes from 411 to 359 B.C., starting as a

 continuation of Thucydides, and becoming his own

 brand of work from Book III onwards.
