Xenophon, banished from Athens because of his pro-Spartan sympathies, serves in the Spartan army.

The Spartans eventually reward him with a property near Olympia, where he devotes himself to hunting and literature.

Picking up where Thucidydes left off, Xenophon writes the Hellenica, a history of Greece from 411 to 362.

He also authors a romantic biography of Cyrus the Great, Cyropaedia, and numerous lesser essays.
