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!
