Episode 96 "Anabasis by Xenophon"

This week's book contains mercenaries, marching armies, treachery, and a dangerous retreat. Part military history and part philosophical study, the "Anabasis" by Xenophon has been studied and enjoyed for a variety of reasons. We delve into how a book written 2,500 years ago can feel so present, and the many interesting things Xenophon has to say about the nature of leadership and military command. Enjoyable discussion about a rich text, ending in Matt pleading for an oracle. Enjoy!
