"History of Greece, Volume 09 (of 12)" by George Grote is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the narrative of Cyrus the Younger and the Ten Thousand Greeks, detailing their military expeditions and the interactions between the Greeks and the Persian Empire. The text likely offers a wide exploration of Greek history, political dynamics, and the cultural implications of these events as they unfold. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the historical context by explaining the aftermath of the Peloponnesian War, highlighting the rise of Spartan power and the ambitious plans of Cyrus the Younger to secure the Persian throne from his brother Artaxerxes. The opening outlines Cyrus's gathering of Greek mercenaries, their march from Sardis, and the early preparations for their campaign against the Persian Empire, emphasizing the mix of personal ambition, political intrigue, and the Greek spirit of adventure that motivates these soldiers. The narrative introduces key characters such as Cyrus and proclaims the significance of the Greek soldiers who, driven by hopes of wealth and glory, ultimately find themselves embroiled in a deeply challenging military ordeal.
