It is a continuation of Thucydides' narrative, \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Peloponnesian War\u003c\/i\u003e. This history covers the last seven years of the war, and its aftermath. It is one of the few surviving narratives from this period and is generally considered to be the most authoritative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author Xenophon was born in Athens about 430BCE. It may be inferred from passages in the Hellenica that he fought at Arginusae (406), and that he was present at the return of Alcibiades (408), the trial of the Generals, and the overthrow of the Thirty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 401, being invited by his friend Proxenus to join the expedition of the younger Cyrus against his brother, Artaxerxes II of Persia, he at once accepted the offer. Of the expedition itself, he has given a full and detailed account in his \u003ci\u003eAnabasis: The March Up Country\u003c\/i\u003e, sometimes called \u003ci\u003eThe Persian Expedition.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Coroneia (394) he fought with the Spartans against the Athenians and Thebans, for which his fellow citizens decreed his banishment. The Spartans provided a home for him at Scillus in Ellis until Sparta and Athens became allies whereupon he then made his home at Corinth. The year of his death is thought to be 355 BCE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis restored translation contains all 7 complete books of Xenophon's narrative, including an indexed Table of Contents listing page numbers for each year of the war.
