XENOPHON (0.430 to c. 3 ^4 BC) was a
wealthy Athenian and friend of Socrates.
J
He left Athens in 401 and joined an
expedition including ten thousand Greeks
led by the Persian governor Cvrus against
s
o * o
the Persian king. After the defeat of Cyrus,
it fell to Xenophon to lead the Greeks
from the gates of Babylon back to the
coast through inhospitable lands. Later he
wrote the famous vivid account of this
'March Up-Country' (Anabasis); but mean-
while he entered service under the Spar-
tans against the Persian king, married
happily, and joined the staff of the Spartan
king, Agesilaus. But Athens was at war
with Sparta in 394 and so exiled
Xenophon. The Spartans gave him an
estate near Elis where he lived for vears
writing and hunting and educating his
sons. Reconciled to Sparta, Athens re-
stored Xenophon to honour but he
pre-
ferred to retire to Corinth.
Xenophon's Anabasis is a true storv of
remarkable adventures. Hellenica, a history
of Greek affairs from 41 1 to 362, begins as
a continuation of Thucvdides' account.
There are four works on Socrates (col-
lected in Volume IV of the Loeb
Xenophon edition). In Memorabilia
Xenophon adds to Plato's picture of
Socrates from a different viewpoint. The
Apologv is an interesting complement to
Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his
a
trial.
