The Anabasis (also called The Anabasis of Cyrus, The March Up Country, The March of the Ten Thousand, and The Persian Expedition) is a work by the ancient Greek writer Xenophon. It details the journey of 10,000 Greek mercenaries in the army of Cyrus the Younger as he seeks to overthrow his older brother, the King of Persia Artaxerxes II. They fight Artaxerxes' army at Cunaxa, defeating it, and all seems well...Until they realize that Cyrus had been killed in battle, leaving the Ten Thousand deep in the Persian Empire—whose king they had just fought to overthrow—with few or no friends and a long way to go before they could find anything even remotely resembling safety.Well, crap.There begins the real story, as the Ten Thousand battle the elements, Persian treachery, and their own fears—encountering some interesting people along the way—as they try to make their way back to Greece.A classic of Western literature, and frequently the first full original text a student of Ancient Greek will read, on account of the exciting, action-packed plot and Xenophon's clear, energetic writing style (rather like Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War for Latin students). Classics professors often joke (or half-joke) that this is the book that Hollywood should make a movie of. And they have—sort of: The Warriors is a Setting Update of the Anabasis, with numerous embellishments and edits. There also exists a Low Fantasy novelization, The Ten Thousand, by Paul Kearney.You can read the original work here. If that's all Greek to you (sorry), you might want to check out this English translation instead. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Anabasis / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: According to Xenophon, Menon was motivated entirely by greed, had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, manipulated and lied to get what he wanted, regarded his "friends" only as means to an end, and viewed honesty and piety as negative character traits. He was thought he was the only one who realized that stealing from your "friends" is way easier than trying to take things from your enemies. Very little of this is actually demonstrated by his behavior in the Anabasis, although he does use some manipulation to get into Cyrus's favor. | |

Keystone Army: Played with. After Cyrus's death, the rest of his army scatters, but the Greek mercenaries hold fast and win the day on their own — for all the good that ends up doing them. It sort of happens again when Tissaphernes betrays and executes the Ten Thousand's officers - the remainder panic at the news only for a spell before electing new officers and continuing their journey back to Greece. | |

Dreaming the Truth: After the generals are killed, Xenophon tries to go to sleep with everyone else. He has a dream of a lightning bolt filling his home with light, and suddenly wakes up and realizes that the Persians are almost certainly attacking soon, everyone is moping around dejectedly instead of preparing, and that he is the one who has to take charge. | |

Easy Logistics: Absolutely not, of course. The just-about-titular Ten Thousand (Xenophon said they originally numbered 10,400) managing to keep themselves fed over the thousands of kilometers all the way back to Greece is a pretty shocking feat, which they generally obtained by the usual method an army does things - by force. | |

Badass Army | |
| Anabasis / int_8878f3be | comment |
Badass Army: The Ten Thousand. They start off strong with their hoplites routing twice their number at Cunaxa at the cost of one wounded until it turned out Cyrus the Younger was already killed anyway and made their victory immaterial. The sudden capture and execution of their officers only led to some panic until a sneeze occurred to one man (a sneeze was seen as a sign of the gods) which emboldened them to re-organize and march all the way back to Greece. Their morale held out to do this over two years before they succeeded. Lacking the clothing for winter in Armenia proves to be more lethal to them than whatever battles they got up to in the season. Xenophon also hypes up the Carduchians as "...a fierce, war-like race, who had never been conquered. Once the Great King had sent into their country an army of 120,000 men, to subdue them, but of all that great host not one had ever seen his home again.", but the Ten Thousand defeat them in a battle with a combination diversionary-and-flanking attack (though they pursue the Ten Thousand some more later). | |

Third-Person Person: Xenophon is both the author and a major character, but always writes about himself in the third person. Justified, as the Anabasis is intended as a history, not a memoir, but it sometimes feels a little odd, especially because it is very obvious that the character of Xenophon is the author. | |

Better to Die than Be Killed | |
| Anabasis / int_99298c71 | comment |
Better to Die than Be Killed: The Ten Thousand once attack a wooden fortress on a hill surrounded by a forest to plunder it for food. The Ten Thousand expedited their encirclement by having small groups of men appear before the fortress to bait them into hurling the stones they used for ammunition at them before jumping back to take cover back in the forest. After the defenders were about out of ammunition, the Ten Thousand simply stormed the fortress and the garrison barely put up a fight back, with the inhabitants being said to have thrown their children and then themselves over the walls to their deaths. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
| Anabasis / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: Cyrus' army, and particularly the Ten Thousand, would unquestionably have bested Artaxerxes' at Cunaxa. However, Cyrus was killed in the fight while he had the army to supplant Persia's ruler, making the whole exercise pointless. As a result, most of his army fled the field for fear of being discovered by the king—except for the Greeks, who didn't hear of Cyrus' death and still stood firm, bringing the battle to a draw. As a result, they get singled out for bad treatment at the hands of the Shah. | |

Sneeze of Doom: Just after the Ten Thousand's original leaders are captured and killed by the Persians, they decide to hold a meeting to decide what to do. After some panicking, somebody sneezes. Everyone immediately drops to the ground in supplication (the Greeks considered a sneeze to be a sign from the gods). They then got up, elected new officers, and decided to march back to Greece. Because of a sneeze. | |

| Anabasis / int_b7c53a22 | comment |
Blood Knight: Clearchus really, really, really likes war. So much so that after the Peloponnesian War ended, instead of retiring in peace, he convinced Sparta to let him go to war in Thrace. After he had left, they changed their mind and told him to return. He preceded to ignore them and go to war anyways, resulting in him being sentenced to death in his home city. Bear in mind that the Spartans were the same people who (according, incidentally, to Xenophon, writing elsewhere) had gone to war with Elis "because they had no one else to fight at the time." | |

Never Trust a Title: Anabasis means "march upcountry", a march from the coastline to the interior. The titular "anabasis" was the march with Cyrus to the battle that left the Greeks stranded—a small, and not very exciting, portion of the work. The good stuff (and the bulk of the history) is the katabasis, the march from that battlefield back to the sea. | |
