*** The life and work of Xenophon.Xenophon, an aristocratic Athenian, was one of the most celebrated writers of the ancient world. Born in around 430 BC, he was a friend and pupil of the great philosopher Socrates. In his twenties he took part in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Persian king Artaxerxes II, and played a key role in guiding the surviving Greek troops - known as the Ten Thousand - back to safety. It was a dangerous journey from deep inside hostile territory, and lasted more than a year. Xenophon's gripping account of this military campaign, the Anabasis, is one of the masterpieces of Greek literature.Xenophon went on to write a history of the Peloponnesian War and its aftermath. But he was not just a historian, and his other works include books about household management, hunting and his mentor Socrates. His advice on the education and behaviour of princes had a significant influence in Renaissance Italy, and his treatise on horsemanship is still widely read today. ***

Anabasis
XENOPHON (ca. 430 BC - 354 BC), translated by H. G. DAKYNS (1838 - 1911)
Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C. "Anabasis" is a Greek word which means "journey from the coast to the center of a country." This is Xenophon's account of his march to Persia with a troop of Greek mercenaries to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and take the throne from his brother Artaxerxes, and the ensuing return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and March 399 B.C.
H. G. Dakyns lived from (1838 - 1911). (Summary from Gutenberg version of text.)

*English translation of the beginning:
Xenophon accompanied the Ten Thousand, a large army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger, who intended to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II. Though Cyrus's mixed army fought to a tactical victory at Cunaxa in Babylon (401 BC), Cyrus himself was killed in the battle, rendering the actions of the Greeks irrelevant and the expedition a failure.
Stranded deep in enemy territory, the Spartan general Clearchus and the other Greek senior officers were subsequently killed or captured by treachery on the part of the Persian satrap Tissaphernes. Xenophon, one of three remaining leaders elected by the soldiers, played an instrumental role in encouraging the Greek army of 10,000 to march north across foodless deserts and snow-filled mountain passes towards the Black Sea and the comparative security of its Greek shoreline cities. Now abandoned in northern Mesopotamia, without supplies other than what they could obtain by force or diplomacy, the 10,000 had to fight their way northwards through Corduene and Armenia, making ad hoc decisions about their leadership, tactics, provender and destiny, while the King's army and hostile natives constantly barred their way and attacked their flanks.
Ultimately this "marching republic" managed to reach the shores of the Black Sea at Trapezus (Trebizond), a destination they greeted with their famous cry of joyous exultation on the mountain of Madur in Surmene : "thalatta, thalatta", "the sea, the sea! "The sea" meant that they were at last among Greek cities.

In 1 Timothy 2:11 Paul writes to Timothy, his pastoral trainee, “A woman must learn in quietness and submission.” Paul also instructs women on how to dress and to be modest. Is this just another expression of ancient, patriarchal culture that sought to marginalize women? What might this cryptic text mean, and how does it relate to the situation of the church to which he was writing? The ancient writings of people like Xenophon of Ephesus offer important cultural details that greatly affect how we ought to interpret passages like this one, and they help us determine what their significance is for contemporary Christians. In the case of women in Ephesus, it may just be that the customs associated with the cult of Artemis offers surprising insight into the actual intention of Paul the apostle.

The video presents some basic information about the incidents that took place before and after the Battle of Cunaxa (401 BC), where Cyrus wanted to usurp the throne of Persia from his brother Artaxerxes. The Greeks (Ten Thousand, Myrioi) in order to pay back Cyrus for his help in the Peloponnesian War march against Artaxerxes.
Although the Greeks destroy the numerous opponents, their victory is of no interest, as Cyrus dies in an attempt to kill his brother. The tragedy for the Greek mercenaries starts. In a journey of almost 8 months, Xenophon, the author of "Anabasis" and a soldier with the rest of the "Myrioi", after many dangers in the hostile Persian empire and only with half of them left, eventually go home. The journey it narrates is his best known accomplishment and "one of the great adventures in human history," as Will Durant expressed the common assessment.

Xenophon (Ancient Greek: Ξενοφῶν, Xenophōn; c. 430 – 354 BC), son of Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens, also known as Xenophon of Athens, was a Greek historian, soldier, mercenary, philosopher and a contemporary and admirer of Socrates. He is known for his writings on the history of his own times, the 4th century BC, preserving the sayings of Socrates, and descriptions of life in ancient Greece and the Persian Empire.
Xenophon's birth date is uncertain, but most scholars agree that he was born around 431 BC near the city of Athens. Xenophon was born into the ranks of the upper classes, thus granting him access to certain privileges of the aristocracy of ancient Attica. While a young man, Xenophon participated in the expedition led by Cyrus the Younger against his older brother, king Artaxerxes II of Persia, in 401 BC. Xenophon writes that he had asked the veteran Socrates for advice on whether to go with Cyrus, and that Socrates referred him to the divinely inspired Delphic oracle. Xenophon's query to the oracle, however, was not whether or not to accept Cyrus' invitation, but "to which of the gods he must pray and do sacrifice, so that he might best accomplish his intended journey and return in safety, with good fortune". The oracle answered his question and told him to which gods to pray and sacrifice. When Xenophon returned to Athens and told Socrates of the oracle's advice, Socrates chastised him for asking so disingenuous a question.

'Xenophon' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:
Portrait (2012)
Actors: George Avramidis (actor), Iro Lidorikioti (miscellaneous crew), Katerina Kalentzi (writer), Paolo Cammisuli (actor), Katerina Kalentzi (director), Anna Mertzani (actress), Flavia Sgoifo (actress), Marina Tsoubri (actress), Antonis Pavlou (producer), Agni Tsoka (producer), Antonis Karagiannis (composer), Michalis Lygkiaris (editor), Mimoza Zorzoliani (miscellaneous crew), Giorgos Avramidis (actor), Xaralabos Mauroeidis (actor),
Plot: The film deals with the past, the memory and the nostalgia. Seen through the eyes of the protagonist, the plot is a short trip in his memories from the past and specifically in the most important moments that he experienced with the woman he was madly in love. Essentially, the story highlights the "portrait" of the main character, through intense snapshots of three past phases of his personal life (when he was a teenager, an adult and a middle-aged man),which acted as catalysts in his personality and determined his future actions and ultimately his whole life. At the age of 78, the events that he remembers constitute his most intense emotional moments and, therefore, those that his memory has chosen, set apart and retained. Thus, he strongly recalls these both positive and negative reminiscences that indelibly marked his life. It is widely accepted that objects, photographs and scents from the past function as the main vehicles for the activation of memory and nostalgic emotions. In the case of the film, two old tickets, a portrait and a musical melody, become the occasions for such activation. A nostalgic life assessment is made when the end approaches. Time is compressed to specific memories and shows life as a puzzle of highlighted events, which emotionally affect the human being, and have a deep impact in its present actions.

Plot: The film deals with the past, the memory and the nostalgia. Seen through the eyes of the protagonist, the plot is a short trip in his memories from the past and specifically in the most important moments that he experienced with the woman he was madly in love. Essentially, the story highlights the "portrait" of the main character, through intense snapshots of three past phases of his personal life (when he was a teenager, an adult and a middle-aged man),which acted as catalysts in his personality and determined his future actions and ultimately his whole life. At the age of 78, the events that he remembers constitute his most intense emotional moments and, therefore, those that his memory has chosen, set apart and retained. Thus, he strongly recalls these both positive and negative reminiscences that indelibly marked his life. It is widely accepted that objects, photographs and scents from the past function as the main vehicles for the activation of memory and nostalgic emotions. In the case of the film, two old tickets, a portrait and a musical melody, become the occasions for such activation. A nostalgic life assessment is made when the end approaches. Time is compressed to specific memories and shows life as a puzzle of highlighted events, which emotionally affect the human being, and have a deep impact in its present actions.

Xenophon (In Our Time, 26/5/11)
*** The life and work of Xenophon.Xenophon, an aristocratic Athenian, was one of the most celebrated writers of the ancient world. Born in around 430 BC, he was a friend and pupil of the great philosopher Socrates. In his twenties he took part in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Persian king Artaxerxes II, and played a key role in guiding the surviving Greek troops - known as the Ten Thousand - back to safety. It was a dangerous journey from deep inside hostile territory, and lasted more than a year. Xenophon's gripping account of this military campaign, the Anabasis, is one of the masterpieces of Greek literature.Xenophon went on to write a history of the Peloponnesian War and its aftermath. But he was not just a historian, and his other works include books about household managem... -

Anabasis by XENOPHON | Memoirs, Military, War | Full AudioBook
Anabasis XENOPHON (ca. 430 BC - 354 BC), translated by H. G. DAKYNS (1838 - 1911) Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C. "Anabasis" is a Greek word which means "journey from the coast to the center of a country." This is Xenophon's account of his march to Persia with a troop of Greek mercenaries to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and take the throne from his brother Artaxerxes, and the ensuing return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and March 399 B.C. H. G. Dakyns lived from (1838 - 1911). (S... -

Xenophon's Anabasis
Intro done at 1:44 *English translation of the beginning: Xenophon accompanied the Ten Thousand, a large army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger, who intended to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II. Though Cyrus's mixed army fought to a tactical victory at Cunaxa in Babylon (401 BC), Cyrus himself was killed in the battle, rendering the actions of the Greeks irrelevant and the expedition a failure. Stranded deep in enemy territory, the Spartan general Clearchus and the other Greek senior officers were subsequently killed or captured by treachery on the part of the Persian satrap Tissaphernes. Xenophon, one of three remaining leaders elected by the soldiers, played an instrumental role in encouraging the Greek army of 10,000 to march north across foodl... -

Why Women Must Learn in Quietness and Submission: Xenophon of Ephesus and 1 Timothy 2 (Gary Hoag)
DOWNLOAD THE GROUP PDF DISCUSSION GUIDE: http://store.seedbed.com/products/women-in-ephesus In 1 Timothy 2:11 Paul writes to Timothy, his pastoral trainee, “A woman must learn in quietness and submission.” Paul also instructs women on how to dress and to be modest. Is this just another expression of ancient, patriarchal culture that sought to marginalize women? What might this cryptic text mean, and how does it relate to the situation of the church to which he was writing? The ancient writings of people like Xenophon of Ephesus offer important cultural details that greatly affect how we ought to interpret passages like this one, and they help us determine what their significance is for contemporary Christians. In the case of women in Ephesus, it may just be that the customs associated wi... -

Xenophon's Anabasis (The Anabasis of Cyrus)
The video presents some basic information about the incidents that took place before and after the Battle of Cunaxa (401 BC), where Cyrus wanted to usurp the throne of Persia from his brother Artaxerxes. The Greeks (Ten Thousand, Myrioi) in order to pay back Cyrus for his help in the Peloponnesian War march against Artaxerxes. Although the Greeks destroy the numerous opponents, their victory is of no interest, as Cyrus dies in an attempt to kill his brother. The tragedy for the Greek mercenaries starts. In a journey of almost 8 months, Xenophon, the author of "Anabasis" and a soldier with the rest of the "Myrioi", after many dangers in the hostile Persian empire and only with half of them left, eventually go home. The journey it narrates is his best known accomplishment and "one of the... -

Xenophon "Spartan Constitution" (reconstructed ancient Greek)
Free sample of an upcoming audiobook by Podium-Arts.com. Narrated in reconstructed Ancient Greek, by Ioannis Stratakis [1] It occurred to me one day that Sparta, though among the most thinly populated of states, was evidently the most powerful and most celebrated city in Greece; and I fell to wondering how this could have happened. But when I considered the institutions of the Spartans, I wondered no longer. [2] Lycurgus, who gave them the laws that they obey, and to which they owe their prosperity, I do regard with wonder; and I think that he reached the utmost limit of wisdom. For it was not by imitating other states, but by devising a system utterly different from that of most others, that he made his country preeminently prosperous.

Xenophon, one of three remaining leaders elected by the soldiers, played an instrumental role in encouraging the Greek army of 10,000 to march north across foodless deserts and snow-filled mountain passes towards the Black Sea and the comparative security of its Greek shoreline cities. Now abandoned in northern Mesopotamia, without supplies other than what they could obtain by force or diplomacy, the 10,000 had to fight their way northwards through Corduene and Armenia, making ad hoc decisions about their leadership, tactics, provender and destiny, while the King's army and hostile natives constantly barred their way and attacked their flanks.
Ultimately this "marching republic" managed to reach the shores of the Black Sea at Trapezus (Trebizond), a destination they greeted with their famous cry of joyous exultation on the mountain of Madur in Surmene : "thalatta, thalatta", "the sea, the sea! "The sea" meant that they were at last among Greek cities.

The video presents some basic information about the incidents that took place before and after the Battle of Cunaxa (401 BC), where Cyrus wanted to usurp the throne of Persia from his brother Artaxerxes. The Greeks (Ten Thousand, Myrioi) in order to pay back Cyrus for his help in the Peloponnesian War march against Artaxerxes.
Although the Greeks destroy the numerous opponents, their victory is of no interest, as Cyrus dies in an attempt to kill his brother. The tragedy for the Greek mercenaries starts. In a journey of almost 8 months, Xenophon, the author of "Anabasis" and a soldier with the rest of the "Myrioi", after many dangers in the hostile Persian empire and only with half of them left, eventually go home. The journey it narrates is his best known accomplishment and "one of the great adventures in human history," as Will Durant expressed the common assessment.

Australia has demanded an explanation from Malaysia for why it turned away an Australian senator from his fact-finding mission to investigate the Southeast Asian country's electoral system ahead of elections due within months, the prime minister has said.
Nick Xenophon, an independent South Australia state senator, returned from Malaysia on Sunday saying he had been deported on the orders of the "highest levels'' of the Malaysian government for his support of democracy reformers.
Xenophon told Al Jazeera that he is disappointed that his own government tried to downplay the importance of his visit.

Narrated in reconstructed Ancient Greek, by Ioannis Stratakis
[1]
It occurred to me one day that Sparta, though among the most thinly populated of states, was evidently the most powerful and most celebrated city in Greece; and I fell to wondering how this could have happened. But when I considered the institutions of the Spartans, I wondered no longer.
[2]
Lycurgus, who gave them the laws that they obey, and to which they owe their prosperity, I do regard with wonder; and I think that he reached the utmost limit of wisdom. For it was not by imitating other states, but by devising a system utterly different from that of most others, that he made his country preeminently prosperous. [3]
First, to begin at the beginning, I will take the begetting of children.1 In other states the girls who are destined to become mothers and are brought up in the approved fashion, live on the very plainest fare, with a most meagre allowance of delicacies. Wine is either withheld altogether, or, if allowed them, is diluted with water. The rest of the Greeks expect their girls to imitate the sedentary life that is typical of hand-craftsmen -- to keep quiet and do wool-work. How, then, is it to be expected that women so brought up will bear fine children?
[4]
But Lycurgus thought the labour of slave women sufficient to supply clothing. He believed motherhood to be the most important function of freeborn woman. Therefore, in the first place, he insisted on physical training for the female no less than for the male sex: moreover, he instituted races and trials of strength for women competitors as for men, believing that if both parents are strong they produce more vigorous offspring.
[5]
He noticed, too, that, during the time immediately succeeding marriage, it was usual elsewhere for the husband to have unlimited intercourse with his wife. The rule that he adopted was the opposite of this: for he laid it down that the husband should be ashamed to be seen entering his wife's room or leaving it. With this restriction on intercourse the desire of the one for the other must necessarily be increased, and their offspring was bound to be more vigorous than if they were surfeited with one another.
[6]
In addition to this, he withdrew from men the right to take a wife whenever they chose, and insisted on their marrying in the prime of their manhood, believing that this too promoted the production of fine children.
[7]
It might happen, however, that an old man had a young wife; and he observed that old men keep a very jealous watch over their young wives. To meet these cases he instituted an entirely different system by requiring the elderly husband to introduce into his house some man whose physical and moral qualities he admired, in order to beget children.
[8]
On the other hand, in case a man did not want to cohabit with his wife and nevertheless desired children of whom he could be proud, he made it lawful for him to choose a woman who was the mother of a fine family and of high birth, and if he obtained her husband's consent, to make her the mother of his children.
[9]
He gave his sanction to many similar arrangements. For the wives want to take charge of two households, and the husbands want to get brothers for their sons, brothers who are members of the family and share in its influence, but claim no part of the money. [10]
Thus his regulations with regard to the begetting of children were in sharp contrast with those of other states. Whether he succeeded in populating Sparta with a race of men remarkable for their size and strength anyone who chooses may judge for himself.
