Description

Xenophon (431-355 BC), son of Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens, was a soldier, mercenary and an admirer of Socrates.

He is known for his writings on the history of his own times, the sayings of Socrates, and the life of Greece.

He participated in the expedition led by Cyrus the Younger against his older brother, the emperor Artaxerxes II of Persia, in 401 BC.

His record of the entire expedition against the Persians and the journey home was titled Anabasis (The Expedition or The March Up Country).

He was later exiled from Athens, most likely because he fought under the Spartan king Agesilaus against Athens at Coronea.

The Spartans gave him property at Scillus, near Olympia in Elis, where he composed the Anabasis.
