"Els Deu Mil" by Xenophon is a historical account written in the late 4th century BC. The narrative explores the journey and military campaigns of Xenophon and the Greek mercenaries, known as the "Deu Mil" or "Ten Thousand," as they fight for Cyrus the Younger against his brother, Artaxerxes, in the Persian Empire. As a soldier and student of Socrates, Xenophon provides insights into leadership, loyalty, and the experiences of mercenary soldiers in a tumultuous era. The opening of the book introduces Xenophon and sets the stage for the epic journey of the Ten Thousand. It highlights Xenophon's background and his significant influences, particularly his relationship with Socrates and his decision to join the expedition led by Cyrus the Younger. The text describes the political intrigue of the time, including Cyrus's secret preparations for war against his brother and the recruitment of Greek mercenaries. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to key players in this dramatic military campaign, setting the tone for the adventures and challenges that the Ten Thousand will face in the Persian landscape.
