Xenophon - Philosopher, General and Saviour of the 10,000!
Xenophon was, and remains, one of history's most famous philosophers. Not only this, he was a historian, military tactician, essayist, and esteemed student of Socrates. He knew Plato, and the two even shared a friendly rivalry as they both published Socratic Dialogues.
Xenophon was also one of the greatest generals in ancient history. He led the return of the legendary 10,000 Greeks from Persia back to Greece as recounted in the fantastic work, the Anabasis.
Throughout history, ancient Greece and Rome, writers and philosophers from Pausanius to Cicero have sung his praises. A queer icon, military leader, prolific author, and a man with connections, he led a brilliant life. Born in Athens, then exiled for fighting for Sparta, and living out his days in Elis or Corinth, he died the very ye...

The Most Incredible Retreat in Ancient History (Anabasis, or the 10,000)
In 401 BCE, turmoil in the Achaemenid Persian Empire led to a contender of the throne, Cyrus the Younger, to muster an army of Greeks and Persians to defeat his brother.
Though the attempt was a failure, the 10,000 Greek Mercenaries survived the epic battle of Cunaxa intact, and these men, οἱ Μύριο (hoi Myrioi), went on to make history in one of the most incredible retreat stories ever recounted in the history of antiquity.
Led by Xenophon the philosopher/historian/solider, they campaigned for two years out of deep Persia from one danger to another, on their way home back to Greece.
Their story, recounted by Xenophon in his 'Anabasis' (literally, the march up) lays bare this epic in graphic detail, and frankly, it's a tragedy we don't yet have a film of it. Inspiring so many stories, im...

Xenophon
#apolaslermi #xenophon #anabasis
2400 years ago. Xenophon and The Myriads. They met in Sardis, the capital of Lydia and moved on the land of Mesopotamia through Persia. Losing their ways due to the harsh conditions of the nature, they came across different cultures. They fought, they starved and finally, they reached to a friendly land, Trapezounta. From the mountains surrounded by clouds, they saw the Black Sea. They cried out : “Thalassa, Thalassa (Sea, Sea) “.
Xenophon, a student of Socrates, is an Ancient Greek philosopher, writer, historian and soldier. We dedicate this work - which was inspired by one of the World’s most important mythological classics: Anabasis written by Xenophon - to the cultural heritage of Anatolia and the World.

Xenophon & The Ruins of Assyria // Ancient Greek Primary Source
General of the elite Greek mercenary army 'The Ten Thousand', student of Socrates, effusive historian; Xenophon (431 - 354 BC) was a monumental figure in ancient Greek history. Here we have an extract from his Magnus Opus, 'The Anabasis' in which he describes encountering the ruins of two ancient cities as he and his men crossed Persia on their long journey home after taking part in a Persian civil war. He calls these cities Larisa and Mespila. Today they are generally assumed to have been ancient Assyrian cities, perhaps Nimrud and Nineveh, destroyed centuries earlier as the Neo-Assyrian Empire collapsed under the weight of its subject peoples, amongst them the Persian Achaemenids. Inspiring the famous Shelley poem 'Ozymandias', Xenophon describes the vast proportions of these ancient rui...

The Stoic Socrates of Xenophon
Historians usually dismiss Xenophon’s Socratic dialogues out of hand, and rarely will Xenophon’s Socrates even be mentioned in Greek philosophy courses. There is no doubt that Plato was a far better writer than Xenophon, but the writings of Xenophon were highly treasured in both the ancient world and in the Renaissance.
Although it is true that the Greek Philosopher Zeno, who studied under Crates, the last Greek Cynic Philosopher, is seen by both ancient and modern scholars as the founder of Stoicism, in a large sense the stoic emphasis of moral philosophy was always present in Greek philosophy, starting with Homer and Hesiod.
We will discuss:
• How the Stoic Socrates of Xenophon was fond of moral maxims.
• How Xenophon’s account of the trial and execution of Socrates differed from Plat...

HISTORATHON 2023
Historathon is a year-long celebration of reading historical nonfiction. The goal is to read, discuss, and spotlight works of history, and to encourage reluctant readers to give history a try. The calendar year will be divided into three-month blocks, with each block focusing on a particular period of time:
Jan-March = Prehistory-500 CE
April-June = 500-1500
July-Sept = 1500-1820
Oct-Dec = 1820-Present
To participate, simply read a work of history that falls into the time period for each quarterly segment of the year. Read more if you’d like! Tailor the choices to your interests or try something completely new.

Xenophon was, and remains, one of history's most famous philosophers. Not only this, he was a historian, military tactician, essayist, and esteemed student of Socrates. He knew Plato, and the two even shared a friendly rivalry as they both published Socratic Dialogues.
Xenophon was also one of the greatest generals in ancient history. He led the return of the legendary 10,000 Greeks from Persia back to Greece as recounted in the fantastic work, the Anabasis.
Throughout history, ancient Greece and Rome, writers and philosophers from Pausanius to Cicero have sung his praises. A queer icon, military leader, prolific author, and a man with connections, he led a brilliant life. Born in Athens, then exiled for fighting for Sparta, and living out his days in Elis or Corinth, he died the very year Philip II became king of Macedon. Fitting, for the man that the eminent Classicist Professor Dodge called 'the greatest general before
Alexander the Great'.
Here is a list of his works below:
Anabasis
Cyropaedia
Hellenica
Agesilaus
Constitution of the Spartans

In 401 BCE, turmoil in the Achaemenid Persian Empire led to a contender of the throne, Cyrus the Younger, to muster an army of Greeks and Persians to defeat his brother.
Though the attempt was a failure, the 10,000 Greek Mercenaries survived the epic battle of Cunaxa intact, and these men, οἱ Μύριο (hoi Myrioi), went on to make history in one of the most incredible retreat stories ever recounted in the history of antiquity.
Led by Xenophon the philosopher/historian/solider, they campaigned for two years out of deep Persia from one danger to another, on their way home back to Greece.
Their story, recounted by Xenophon in his 'Anabasis' (literally, the march up) lays bare this epic in graphic detail, and frankly, it's a tragedy we don't yet have a film of it. Inspiring so many stories, imitations, military strategy, and later incredible feats, there are moments of pure brilliance in this work - not least of which is the famous cry of 'The Sea, The Sea!'.
So in the meantime, enjoy this video and the stories within, from Persian satraps and blistering winters to the proto-Kurdish mountain warriors and the Armenian mountains.

2400 years ago. Xenophon and The Myriads. They met in Sardis, the capital of Lydia and moved on the land of Mesopotamia through Persia. Losing their ways due to the harsh conditions of the nature, they came across different cultures. They fought, they starved and finally, they reached to a friendly land, Trapezounta. From the mountains surrounded by clouds, they saw the Black Sea. They cried out : “Thalassa, Thalassa (Sea, Sea) “.
Xenophon, a student of Socrates, is an Ancient Greek philosopher, writer, historian and soldier. We dedicate this work - which was inspired by one of the World’s most important mythological classics: Anabasis written by Xenophon - to the cultural heritage of Anatolia and the World.

Ξημερώνει, η εξέγερση του λαού αυξάνεται
Οι Μύριοι του Ξενοφώντα
Τρέχουν πίσω από τη δικαιοσύνη
Τις δυσκολίες έκαναν δρόμο στον εαυτό τους
Kαι Φτάσανε στον Πόντο
The dawn arises
The riot of the people rises
The Myriads of Xenophon
Made war for fairness
They made paths out of struggle
And reached to Pontos
Sabah oluyor, halkın isyanı büyüyor
Ksenofon'un onbinleri
Adaletin peşinde koşuyorlar
Zorlukları kendilerine yol yaptılar
Ve Pontos'a ulaştılar
i mirii tu ksenofonta polemane
ksenophon'un on binleri savaşıyor
The Myriads of Xenophon, they are fighting
gün doğuyor ve on binler yol alıyor
yorgun bir halk ve isyanlar çoğalıyor
mızrakları güneşin ışığında
yürüyorlar umudun toprağında
The dawn arises and The Myriads of Xenophon paces
A tired nation and their riot arises
Their spears under the light of the sun
They move on the land of hope
ormanlardan dağlardan bir yol ördüler
bulutlardan karadeniz'i gördüler
mızrakları güneşin ışığında
yürüyorlar umudun toprağında
They built a way of forests and mountains
They saw the Black Sea from clouds
Their spears under the light of the sun
They move on the land of hope

General of the elite Greek mercenary army 'The Ten Thousand', student of Socrates, effusive historian; Xenophon (431 - 354 BC) was a monumental figure in ancient Greek history. Here we have an extract from his Magnus Opus, 'The Anabasis' in which he describes encountering the ruins of two ancient cities as he and his men crossed Persia on their long journey home after taking part in a Persian civil war. He calls these cities Larisa and Mespila. Today they are generally assumed to have been ancient Assyrian cities, perhaps Nimrud and Nineveh, destroyed centuries earlier as the Neo-Assyrian Empire collapsed under the weight of its subject peoples, amongst them the Persian Achaemenids. Inspiring the famous Shelley poem 'Ozymandias', Xenophon describes the vast proportions of these ancient ruins; long deserted, looming large against the desert, a ruined shadow of a vast forgotten empire.

Historians usually dismiss Xenophon’s Socratic dialogues out of hand, and rarely will Xenophon’s Socrates even be mentioned in Greek philosophy courses. There is no doubt that Plato was a far better writer than Xenophon, but the writings of Xenophon were highly treasured in both the ancient world and in the Renaissance.
Although it is true that the Greek Philosopher Zeno, who studied under Crates, the last Greek Cynic Philosopher, is seen by both ancient and modern scholars as the founder of Stoicism, in a large sense the stoic emphasis of moral philosophy was always present in Greek philosophy, starting with Homer and Hesiod.
We will discuss:
• How the Stoic Socrates of Xenophon was fond of moral maxims.
• How Xenophon’s account of the trial and execution of Socrates differed from Plato’s account.
• How Xenophon’s description of Hercules’ encounter with Lady Virtue and Lady Vice was treasured by St Justin Martyr, and early Church Father, and by many others in the ancient world and in the Renaissance, and was a favored topic of many painters.
• How Xenophon’s Socrates’ attitudes towards the gods were similar to the implicit monotheism of the Stoics.
• Xenophon and Socrates’ story of the two quarreling brothers.

As Socrates teaches us, the examined life is a life worth living. We would be fools if we did not desire to learn from our multitude of friends whose words live in the works of the classics that have survived from past centuries and millennia. The Stoic and moral philosophers of Greece and Rome saw philosophy as an evangelical enterprise, seeking to spread the joy of living a godly life for its own sake.
Our projects include:
Studying the teachings of the ancient and modern stoic and moral philosophers on how to better lead a godly life.
Studying ancient and modern history to learn moral lessons and learn how we can successfully live a life of faith in trying times, including civil rights and social gospel history.
Studying issues of morality in the Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Jewish traditions.
Everyone should join and participate in their local church. However, my internet persona is purposefully obscure so that I can be respectful of all genuine Judeo-Christian traditions, I do not wish to be disrespectfully polemical.

HISTORATHON 2023
Historathon is a year-long celebration of reading historical nonfiction. The goal is to read, discuss, and spotlight works of history, and to encourage reluctant readers to give history a try. The calendar year will be divided into three-month blocks, with each block focusing on a particular period of time:
Jan-March = Prehistory-500 CE
April-June = 500-1500
July-Sept = 1500-1820
Oct-Dec = 1820-Present
To participate, simply read a work of history that falls into the time period for each quarterly segment of the year. Read more if you’d like! Tailor the choices to your interests or try something completely new.
Link to the Update video: https://youtu.be/d_Zhc_95HRw
Historathon "Side Quests": We will also be encouraging/participating in history-related activities throughout the year, including watching historical films/documentaries, trying historical recipes, listen to historical music, etc. Feel free to join us!

Euripides, Helen 1-67 (spoken reconstructed ancient Greek)
ENGLISH:
These are the lovely pure streams of the Nile, which waters the plain and lands of Egypt, fed by white melting snow instead of rain from heaven. Proteus was king of this land when he was alive, [5] living on the island of Pharos and lord of Egypt; and he married one of the daughters of the sea, Psamathe, after she left Aiakos' bed. She bore two children in his palace here: a son Theoklymenos, [because he spent his life in reverence of the gods,] [10] and a noble daughter, her mother's pride, called Eido in her infancy. But when she came to youth, the season of marriage, she was called Theonoe; for she knew whatever the gods design, both present and to come, [15] having received this honor from her grandfather Nereus.
My own fatherland, Sparta, is not without fame, and my father is...

Antigonus the One-Eyed: Alexander's most Ambitious General
In the wake of the legendary conqueror Alexander the Great, his mightiest generals vied for dominance over his empire, the largest the world had ever yet seen. One of these was Antigonus Monophthalmus, the One-Eyed.
His epic tale is one of power and ambition, with more than a touch of hubris. Had it not been for how worried he made the other Successors, or Diadochi, he may well have remained the most powerful of all. And yet it was precisely his power in life that ultimately led to his death, at the age of 81, in the place he spent all his life - in the front line of battle.
As soon as the Partition of Babylon was held, Antigonus went on an expansive spree of war, picking off enemies and annexing lands, one after the other. Accompanied or aided at all times by his son Demetrius, who woul...

ENGLISH:
These are the lovely pure streams of the Nile, which waters the plain and lands of Egypt, fed by white melting snow instead of rain from heaven. Proteus was king of this land when he was alive, [5] living on the island of Pharos and lord of Egypt; and he married one of the daughters of the sea, Psamathe, after she left Aiakos' bed. She bore two children in his palace here: a son Theoklymenos, [because he spent his life in reverence of the gods,] [10] and a noble daughter, her mother's pride, called Eido in her infancy. But when she came to youth, the season of marriage, she was called Theonoe; for she knew whatever the gods design, both present and to come, [15] having received this honor from her grandfather Nereus.
My own fatherland, Sparta, is not without fame, and my father is Tyndareus; but there is indeed a story that Zeus flew to my mother Leda, taking the form of a bird, a swan, [20] which accomplished the deceitful union, fleeing the pursuit of an eagle, if this story is true. My name is Helen; I will tell the evils I have suffered. For the sake of beauty, three goddesses came to a deep valley on Mount Ida, to Paris: [25] Hera and Kypris, and the virgin daughter of Zeus, wishing to have the judgment of their loveliness decided. Kypris offered my beauty, if misfortune is beautiful, for Paris to marry, and so she won. Paris, the shepherd of Ida, left his ox-stalls [30] and came to Sparta, to have me in marriage.
But Hera, indignant at not defeating the goddesses, made an airy nothing of my marriage with Paris; she gave to the son of king Priam not me, but an image, alive and breathing, that she fashioned out of the sky and made to look like me; [35] and he thinks he has me—an idle fancy, for he doesn't have me. And in turn the plans of Zeus added further troubles to these; for he brought a war upon the land of the Hellenes and the unhappy Phrygians, so that he might lighten mother earth [40] of her crowded mass of mortals, and bring fame to the bravest man of Hellas. So I was set up as the Hellenes' spear-prize, to test the courage of the Trojans; or rather not me, but my name. Hermes caught me up in the folds of the air and [45] hid me in a cloud—for Zeus was not neglectful of me—and he set me down here in the house of Proteus, having selected the most self-controlled of all mankind, so that I might keep my bed pure for Menelaos. And so I am here, while my wretched husband [50] has gathered an army and gone over to the towers of Ilion to hunt down and recover me. And many lives have been lost for my sake by the streams of Skamandros; and I who have endured all this am accursed, and have in appearance betrayed my husband [55] and brought a great war to the Hellenes. Why then am I still alive? I heard the god Hermes declare that I would yet live in the glorious country of Sparta, with my husband—for Hermes knew I never went to Ilion—so that I would not go to bed with another man. [60] Well, as long as Proteus saw this light of the sun, I was safe from marriage; but now that he is hidden in the dark earth, the dead man's son hunts after a marriage with me. But I, out of regard to my husband of long ago, am throwing myself down as a suppliant before this tomb of Proteus, [65] for him to keep my bed safe for my husband, so that, if I bear a name infamous throughout Hellas, at least my body may not incur disgrace here.

In this episode of Literary Tales, we examine and offer an in depth analysis of the "war plays" of Euripides and counter the "feminist" readings of the great Greek tragedian. We learn, in exploring these plays, that Euripides deconstructs the horror of war and engages in an esoteric criticism of the Peloponnesian War during his own lifetime.

In the wake of the legendary conqueror
Alexander the Great, his mightiest generals vied for dominance over his empire, the largest the world had ever yet seen. One of these was Antigonus Monophthalmus, the One-Eyed.
His epic tale is one of power and ambition, with more than a touch of hubris. Had it not been for how worried he made the other Successors, or Diadochi, he may well have remained the most powerful of all. And yet it was precisely his power in life that ultimately led to his death, at the age of 81, in the place he spent all his life - in the front line of battle.
As soon as the Partition of Babylon was held, Antigonus went on an expansive spree of war, picking off enemies and annexing lands, one after the other. Accompanied or aided at all times by his son Demetrius, who would won day perhaps even eclipse him, Antigonus soon had all Asia under his dominion. From Macedonian noble to Satrap of Lycaonia to Royal General of Asia to Lord of all Asia.
But naturally with such power came danger, and his competitors, other Diadochi like Seleucus, Ptolemy and Lysimachus, did not like how ambitious Antigonus was getting. He'd already proved his worth in Asia, Egypt, Greece, on land and on sea, and had set his eyes on the rest of the known world.
This video is a sort of documentary of his story, from meteoric start to tragic yet epic downfall, and a look into how his person and deeds laid the foundations of an empire which lasted in Macedon until the Roman Republic conquered it.
