The abortive campaign of young Cyrus, against his brother, Artaxerxes II, narrated in Anabasis, is associated not only with Iranʹs history, but also related to Greek history as well. For this reason, this book has become well-known in Greece and later in the West.

Anabasis clarifies the social, political and military aspects of Iranʹs society in the age of Achaemenid.
