A History of My Times

Xenophon’s compelling narrative picks up where Thucydides left off, chronicling the tumultuous continuation of the Peloponnesian War from 411 to 362 B.C. This period is marked by the shifting fortunes of Greek city-states, with Athens and Sparta alternately rising and falling, and the ever-present influence of Persia. Xenophon, who personally knew many of the key figures, offers a vivid and intimate account of the political and military maneuvers that ultimately led Greece to decline.
