Hellenica
Book • 1700
Hellenica is a seven-book historical account that starts where Thucydides' 'History of the Peloponnesian War' ends, in 411 BC, and continues until 362 BC. The work is divided into three main sections: the first completes Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War, the second covers the period from the end of the war to the Peace of Antalcidas, and the third describes the subsequent years until the Battle of Mantinea.
Xenophon's narrative focuses on Spartan politics and the rise and fall of Spartan power, including the defeat at the Battle of Leuctra and the subsequent Theban hegemony.
The work is notable for its personal and sometimes biased perspective, reflecting Xenophon's experiences and connections with key figures of the time.
