ANABASIS

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 Anabasis is his story of the march to Persia

                  to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and

                  take the throne from Artaxerxes, and the ensuing

                  return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a

                  leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and

                  March 399 B.C.
