Hellenica is a historical account written by the ancient Greek philosopher and historian Xenophon. The book covers the period of Greek history from the end of the Peloponnesian War in 411 BC to the Battle of Mantinea in 362 BC. The book is divided into seven books, with each book covering a specific period of time. Xenophon provides a detailed account of the political and military events that occurred during this period, including the rise of Sparta as a dominant power, the campaigns of Agesilaus II in Asia Minor, the Theban hegemony, and the Corinthian War.Throughout the book, Xenophon offers his own commentary on the events and the people involved, including his own experiences as a soldier and a commander. He also provides insight into the political and cultural values of ancient Greece, including the importance of honor, courage, and loyalty.Hellenica is considered a valuable source of information on ancient Greek history, particularly the period following the Peloponnesian War. It is also regarded as an important work of literature, with Xenophon's writing style praised for its clarity and simplicity.After this the new admiral Hierax arrived from Lacedaemon. The naval force was transferred into his successor's hands, and under the happiest auspices Teleutias set sail for home. As he descended to the seashore to start on his homeward voyage there was not one among his soldiers who had not a warm shake of the hand for their old admiral. Here one presented him with a crown, and there another with a victor's wreath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
