Xenophon
In 404 B.C., to the sound of flutes, the Spartans had the famous Long Walls of Athens demolished. The work signaled the complete victory of the city if Lycurgus and the subordination of all Greece to the Spartan interest. Yet within four decades the pride of Sparta had been humbled, their glory was gone forever.
Xenonophon lived through this stormy time; despite being himself an Athenian, he was intimate with some of the most influential people in Sparta, including one of the Kings, Agesilaus. What he remembered in his old age he wrote down here. It illuminates the last years of the independent cities of Hellas with a strong and individual light.
