SUMMARY
The March of the Ten Thousand is one of most glorious chapters of Greek military history. It contains the long march home of the Greek mercenaries who had participated in the military operations of Cyrus II against Artaxerxes II in 401 BC. The march from Babylon to the Black Sea lasted from September 401 until May 399 BC. Xenophon, who had accompanied the force, described this march in a most vivid way in his work Anabasis. |
