For those wanting a visual depiction of the Xenophon story, click on the picture of the map to go to the actual Google Map.

~The blue markers represent where the mercenaries originated from.

~~Example: “4000 hoplites under Xenias the Arcadian“ would be marked by a marker on the province of Arcadia, Greece, etc.

~The red territory marks the extent of the Persian Empire during the time of the march; the Greeks would have to make it to the Black Sea to sail their way to Greece.

~The blue line….is well…yeah, the line they marched on.

~The fire represents where the battle of Cunaxa took place and all that jazz. There aren’t many details outside of the book of Anabasis; click on the link to check it out via Project Gutenburg!

I originally created a map of the events of the Battle of Cannae on Concharto, then modified it for Google Maps. For some reason it’s not appearing quite right on initial load up. If you just click on any of the events on the right though, the map should appear and you can adjust it as you need to.
