Step into the fascinating world of Xenophon, a soldier, historian, philosopher, and adventurer from ancient Greece whose life reads like an epic tale. This podcast unpacks the extraordinary journey of Xenophon, a student of Socrates, a general in the Persian wilderness, and one of the earliest storytellers of history and leadership.

Discover his role in the infamous "March of the Ten Thousand," where Xenophon led a stranded Greek army through hostile territories back to safety, a journey immortalized in his classic work Anabasis.
