Summary "Κύρου Ανάβασις Τόμος 1" by Xenophon is a historical account written in the 4th century BC. The work narrates the journey of an army of Greek mercenaries, known as the "Ten Thousand," led by Xenophon during their retreat from Persia. The story centers around themes of leadership, bravery, and the struggle for survival amidst the challenges posed by foreign terrain and hostile forces. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Xenophon, a well-off Athenian who embarks on an expedition with the mercenaries to support Cyrus the Younger in his quest for the Persian throne. The opening captures Xenophon’s character, highlighting his aristocratic background, his education under Socrates, and his internal strength juxtaposed with a demeanor of modesty. As the Ten Thousand navigate their dangerous path back home following the defeat of Cyrus, the work sets the stage for a detailed exploration of their experiences, battles, and the strategic decisions they must make to survive against overwhelming odds.
