From the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides and The Landmark Herodotus , here is a new edition of Xenophon’s Hellenika , the primary source for the events of the final seven years and aftermath of the Peloponnesian War.
Hellenika covers the years between 411 and 362 B.C.E., a particularly dramatic period during which the alliances among Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and Persia were in constant flux. Together with the volumes of Herodotus and Thucydides, it completes an ancient narrative of the military and political history of classical Greece.
Xenophon was an Athenian who participated in the expedition of Cyrus the Younger against Cyrus’ brother, the Perisan King Artaxerces II. Later Xenophon joined the Spartan army and hence was exiled from Athens. In addition to the Hellenika, a number of his essays have survived, including one on his memories of his teacher, Socrates.
Beautifully illustrated, heavily annotated, and filled with detailed, clear maps, this edition gives us a new, authoritative, and completely accessible translation by John Marincola, an comprehensive introduction by David Thomas, sixteen appendices written by leading classics scholars, and an extensive timeline/chronology to clarify this otherwise confusing period. Unlike any other edition of the Hellenika , it also includes the relevant texts of Diodorus Siculus and the Oxyrhynchus Historian, with explanatory footnotes and a table that correlates passages of the three works, which is perhaps crucial to an assessment of Xenophon’s reliability and quality as a historian.
Like the two Landmark editions that precede it, The Landmark Xenophon’s Hellenika is the most readable and comprehensive edition available of an essential history.

读希罗多德,在浪漫传奇中放飞思绪;读修昔底德,对权威评传字斟句酌;但读色诺芬叙述中这段龃龉分歧的历史却不同,有偏向的省略或不经意的错漏经常让人无所适从。雅典城墙倒塌后的希腊城邦政治江河日下,各方势力为竞逐本土霸权消磨军力,被波斯从外部轻易渗透操控,这种虚无感在曼丁尼亚战役的荒谬结果中被无限放大。当然,色诺芬对修昔底德的补充工作值得注意,对将军审判和三十人僭主的记述是深入理解雅典民主政体组织形式的重要参考文献。
