A review by karencarlson
The Anabasis of Cyrus by Xenophon
Read as part of a Catherine Project tutorial, as a follow-up to the Odyssey - sort of a historical account of an odyssey through Turkey to Persia to contrast with Homer's mythological account of his post-Trojan War odyssey.
I was dubious at first, since I'm not much for war stories. But it's also a story of how different people react to stress situations, and how leaders emerge. It was also very helpful in solidifying my muddled understanding of Greek history around the Persian war and the Peloponnesian war.
