Khairete,
Having recently finished Xenophon's Anabasis, I was surpised to discover that rather than return home, the remaining 6,000 chose to join the Spartan campaign against Tissaphernes. Apparently they had yet ANOTHER campaign to endure. It boggles the mind.
This leaves me with a burning curiosity, what became of them? How did the campaign go? Is it known how many of the 6,000 finally made it back home?
Speaking Anabasis, it has come to my attention that another account of the 10,000 was written by Sophaenetus the Stymphalian. Have any of you read this? If so, what did you think?
Khairete,
