In 400 BC, after Athens's defeat by Sparta, thousands of Greek soldiers enlist as mercenaries in the service of Cyrus, brother of the Persian king. Xenophon, a young Athenian, joins the expedition and ends up leading the Ten Thousand on their return to Greece, facing hostile tribes, the harsh winter, the desert, and hunger.
Published in January 2004 in the Best Seller collection, number 556; translation by María Eugenia Ciocchini of the original The Ten Thousand.
An agile read based on Xenophon's Anabasis, for those interested in classical antiquity and military epics.
