Xenophons Hellenica is a Classical Greek historical narrative divided into seven books that describe GrecoPersian history in the years BCE 411362. The first two books narrate the final years of the Peloponnesian War from the exact moment in time at which Thucydides history ends. The remaining books, three to seven, focus primarily on the Spartans military and political machinations as the dominant citystate in Greece after the Pelopessenian wars end. The Hellenica also covers the rise of Thebes as a major military power, and the brief period known as the Theban hegemony.Many consider this a very personal work, written by Xenophon in retirement on his Spartan estate, intended primarily for circulation among his friends, for people who knew the main protagonists and events, often because they had participated in them. It is one of the principal sources for the final seven years of the Peloponnesian War not covered by Thucydides, and the wars aftermath.This case laminate collectors edition includes a Victorian inspired dustjacket.
