The Hellenica is Xenophon's
continuation of Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War, literally
resuming from where the previous author's history was abruptly left
unfinished and narrating the events of the final seven years of the
conflict and the war's aftermath. Some historians consider the Hellenica to
be a personal work, written by Xenophon in retirement on his Spartan
estate, and intended primarily for circulation among his friends, who
would have known the main protagonists and events, having most likely
participated in them.
Xenophon's account starts in 411 BC, the
year where Thucydides breaks off, and ends in 362 BC, the year of the
Battle of Mantineia. The work is of vital importance as a primary
historical source and is celebrated for its clarity of style, as found
in most of Xenophon's extant works. Listeners are advised to familiarize
themselves with the events of the Peloponnesian War before beginning
this work, especially the work of Thucydides.
This production uses the English translation of Carleton L. Brownson.
