nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'Men, the enemy troops you can see are all that stands between us
and the place we have for so long been determined to reach. We must
find a way to eat them alive!'
The Expedition of Cyrus tells
the story of the march of the Ten Thousand. The exploits of this famous
army of Greek mercenaries in modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iraq were
described by one of their leaders, the Athenian historian and
philosopher Xenophon. They were recruited at the end of the fifth
century BC by a young Persian prince, Cyrus, who rose in revolt against
his brother, the king of Persia. After Cyrus' death, the army was left
stranded in the desert of Mesopotamia, a thousand miles
from home. Their long march, across mountains and plateaux to the sight
of 'The sea! The sea!', and back to the fringes of the Greek world, is
the most exciting adventure story to survive from the ancient world.
Xenophon's gripping narrative offers a unique insight into the
character of a Greek army struggling to survive in an alien world. It
is also the most sustained eyewitness account of the landscape of the
vast and wealthy Persian empire.
