About this audiobook
Xenophon records the history of the Peloponnesian War beginning in 411 with the final years of the struggle between Athens and Sparta for mastery of Greece. His tales are portraits of democracy in crisis; of military dominance; of fratricidal strife; of the beginning of the slow, inexorable decline of the culture-that of Homer, and the Greek philosophers and tragedians-whose legacy serves as a foundation for the democratic values of the West.
Author
Xenophon
Xenophon of Athens was an ancient Greek historian, philosopher, and soldier. He became commander of the Ten Thousand at about age thirty. Noted military historian Theodore Ayrault Dodge said of him, “The centuries since have devised nothing to surpass the genius of this warrior.”
