In "The Persian Expedition", Xenophon, a young Athenian noble who sought his destiny abroad, provides an enthralling eyewitness account of the attempt by a Greek mercenary army - the Ten Thousand - to help Prince Cyrus overthrow his brother and take the Persian throne.

評分无疑,色诺芬给人的印象是一位极冷静的作者,而且能够持久地保持冷静,这不仅是因为他采用第三人称(一个热情的作者,什么人称也救不了),而且他一贯的纪事原则、演说风格也时刻向读者证实着这一点。 在演说辞以外的部分,作者倾向于以最简要的笔致交代最有必要说明的...
