Greek historian, philosopher, and soldier. He
was a disciple of Socrates (described in
Xenophon's Symposium). In 401 he joined a
Greek mercenary army aiding the Persian
prince Cyrus, and on the latter's death took
command. His Anabasis describes how he led
10,000 Greeks on a 1,000-mile march home
across enemy territory. His other works
include Memorabilia and Apology.
