From the editor of The Landmark Thucydides and The Landmark Herodotus comes a new edition of Xenophon's Hellenika, detailing the final seven years and aftermath of the Peloponnesian War. Covering 411 to 362 B.C.E., this work highlights the shifting alliances among Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and Persia during a tumultuous period. Alongside Herodotus and Thucydides, it completes the ancient narrative of classical Greece's military and political history. Xenophon, an Athenian who participated in Cyrus the Younger's expedition and later joined the Spartan army, provides a unique perspective on these events. This edition features a new, authoritative translation by John Marincola, a comprehensive introduction by David Thomas, and sixteen appendices by leading classics scholars. It also includes an extensive timeline to clarify this complex period. Uniquely, it incorporates relevant texts from Diodorus Siculus and the Oxyrhynchus Historian, with explanatory footnotes and a correlation table, enhancing the assessment of Xenophon's reliability as a historian. Like its predecessors, this edition is the most readable and comprehensive available, making it an essential resource for understanding this pivotal history.
