(Henry Graham) Hellenica Produced by John Bickers, and David Widger "Hellenica" by Xenophon is a historical account written in the 4th century BC. The work serves as a continuation of Thucydides' histories, covering the events in Greek history from 411 to 359 BC. Through the lens of his own experiences as a soldier and exile, Xenophon chronicles the political and military turmoil that ensued after the Peloponnesian War, reflecting on key figures such as Alcibiades, Thrasylus, and other notable leaders. At the start of "Hellenica," Xenophon details various military engagements between the Spartans and Athenians after the Peloponnesian War. He describes a naval battle in the Hellespont involving a fleet led by Dorieus and the Athenian forces, where both strategic maneuvering and the shifting tides of favor between Greek city-states are evident. As the narrative progresses, the focus shifts to significant figures including Alcibiades, whose actions on the battlefield and in political circles influence the fate of the Athenian navy. These events set the stage for an exploration of leadership, warfare, and the dynamics between city-states in this tumultuous period of Greek history.
