Synopsis
In A History of My Times, Greek soldier Xenophon continues the story told by Thucydides in The Peloponnesian War. A contemporary of Socrates and Plato, Xenophon was a fervent supporter of the Spartans, a loyalty that is very evident in this book. Less objective and more emotional than The Peloponnesian War, A History of My Times is more effective in conveying the sentiments of soldiers in ancient Greece, than as a source of historical evidence.
