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.

圖書標籤: 色諾芬 古希臘 曆史 古典學 張湛《天書》係列 選讀 西方 在傢
讀希羅多德,在浪漫傳奇中放飛思緒;讀修昔底德,對權威評傳字斟句酌;但讀色諾芬敘述中這段齟齬分歧的曆史卻不同,有偏嚮的省略或不經意的錯漏經常讓人無所適從。雅典城牆倒塌後的希臘城邦政治江河日下,各方勢力為競逐本土霸權消磨軍力,被波斯從外部輕易滲透操控,這種虛無感在曼丁尼亞戰役的荒謬結果中被無限放大。當然,色諾芬對修昔底德的補充工作值得注意,對將軍審判和三十人僭主的記述是深入理解雅典民主政體組織形式的重要參考文獻。
