Xenophon, Hellenika I-II.3.10
View through CrossRef
This chapter provides the original text and translation of the first section of Xenophon's Hellenika and covers the historical account of the Ionian War and end of the Peloponnesian War. It attempts to follow Thucydides' chronological system of war years, which was divided into summers and winters. It also shows how the details in Hellenika I-II.3.10 show that Xenophon used Athenian literary sources. The chapter points out how Xenophon's military and political narrative falls short of completeness as he was much less concerned with chronology than Thucydides, such as failing to mark the beginning of a campaigning season. It describes Xenophon's distinctive approach to history, which was more influenced by Herodotus than Thucydides.
