Review - French L'Anabase de Xenophon est a la fois la chronique d'une surprenante expedition (401-399) et le premier recit autobiographique de la litterature. Les Dix-Mille, mercenaires leves par Cyrus pour detroner son frere, roi de Perse, parcoururent 6 000 km en deux ans sur le plateau anatolien pour finir a Sinope sur la mer Noire. Ce recit constitue une source essentielle sur la Perse et unique sur ces peuples curieux du haut plateau anatolien, que Xenophon decrit comme un ethnologue. Enfin, le fonctionnement de cette troupe ressemble a celui d'une cite grecque ou la parole est reine et ou les generaux doivent convaincre pour se faire obeir. On ne saurait mieux que dans l'Anabase puiser une image complete et contrastee de l'homme grec.
