Xenophon's Memorabilia and Apology provide a passionate defence of Socrates against the charges brought against him that lead to his execution. The two texts together provide a moving account of what happened immediately before, during, and after his trial.

Stranded deep in Persia, after their leader Cyrus was killed, Xenophon played an instrumental role in encouraging his army of 10,000 to march north across deserts and mountain passes, towards the Black Sea and its Greek shoreline cities.
