Xenophon's Representation of War

Brutal, long

Humble, commanders headress kleos

Effects of war on the soldiers, sleep and hunger

Repetition of 'stades' and 'snow'

Constant marching

Xenophon's Anabasis was the first first-hand accounts of a soldier's life.

Less about actual battle

More trying to maintain control, and defend attacks

Gave Xen a lot of leeway.

Able to give tactical advice for soldiers.

Betrayal

The guide

Executes Megaphernes and other noblemen

Proxenus and Cyrus

Until Xen in charge, betrayal.

kleos

Soldiers can not go back. "The majority followed along out of shame"

Escape blame, friends with Socrates. Supported Spartans (gave money) and thirty tyrants.

Xenophon becomes a general "neither general nor captain nor private"

All's fair in War?

Only real comradeship Artapates and Cyrus

Pillaging

"wheat" and "fire"
