Xenophon's Hellenica is a Classical Greek ancient storyline separated into seven books that
portray Greco-Persian history in the years 411-362 BC. Hellenica is one of the most important
primary sources for the History of the Peloponnesian War and the war's aftermath. Many consider
this a very personal work written by Xenophon in retirement on his Spartan estate intended
primarily for circulation among his friends for people who knew the main protagonists and
events often because they had participated in them. It covers the events in Greece from 411 to
362 BC and is considered to be the continuation of the History of the Peloponnesian War by
Thucydides.
