Hellenica
by Xenophon
About this book
Creators: Xenophon (432 BCE-351? BCE) and Henry Graham Dakyns (1838-1911) [Translator] "Hellenica" by Xenophon is a history written between approximately 362-356 BC. This work continues where Thucydides left off, chronicling Greek history from 411 to 362 BC through the final years of the Peloponnesian War and its turbulent aftermath. Xenophon narrates the power struggle between Athens and Sparta, the clash between democracy and oligarchy, and the shifting dominance of Greek city-states. The narrative ends with the Battle of Mantineia, leaving Greece in chaos and uncertainty, with history's next chapter yet unwritten. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
