何についての本か
雇い主の王子が戦死したあと、一万のギリシア人傭兵がペルシア帝国の腹を横切って撤退する。クセノフォンはその場にいて、最後には彼らを率いることになった。
背景と歴史
前四〇一年。現存する最古の、一人称で書かれた軍事行動の記録であり、黒海を見たときの「タラッタ！タラッタ！」——海だ、海だ——の叫びは、古代で最も多く引かれる場面の一つである。何世紀ものあいだギリシア語を学ぶための教材であり、ペルシアは横断できるのだとギリシア人に教えた本でもある。アレクサンドロスはこれを読んでいた。 注意：目録には『アナバシス』が複数の版で入っている。完本、最初の四巻、そしてもう一つの英訳、さらに現代ギリシア語の一巻である。引用するときはどの版かを言い、できれば巻と章も言われたい。

Whatever the reason might be, Cyrus made his way up into the hills without let or hindrance, and came in sight of the tents where the Cilicians were on guard. From that point he descended gradually into a large and beautiful plain country, well watered, and thickly covered with trees of all sorts and vines. This plain produces sesame plentifully, as also panic and millet and barley and wheat; and it is shut in on all sides by a steep and lofty wall of mountains from sea to sea. Descending through this plain country, he advanced four stages--twenty-five parasangs--to Tarsus, a large and prosperous city of Cilicia. Here stood the palace of Syennesis, the king of the country; and through the middle of the city flows a river called the Cydnus, two hundred feet broad. They found that the city had been deserted by its inhabitants, who had betaken themselves, with Syennesis, to a strong place on the hills. All had gone, except the tavern-keepers. The sea-board inhabitants of Soli and Issi also remained. Now Epyaxa, Syennesis's queen, had reached Tarsus five days in advance of Cyrus. During their passage over the mountains into the plain, two companies of Menon's army were lost. Some said they had been cut down by the Cilicians, while engaged on some pillaging affair; another account was that they had been left behind, and being unable to overtake the main body, or discover the route, had gone astray and perished. However it was, they numbered one hundred hoplites; and when the rest arrived, being in a fury at the destruction of their fellow soldiers, they vented their spleen by pillaging the city of Tarsus and the palace to boot.…
