Xenophon is noted for affording clear narratives that convey an applied moral ethos of his age on the topics of leadership, pan‐Hellenism, and the power of divine will. His uncomplicated morality stands in contrast to that of Thucydides and comes with a less sophisticated dramatizing than that of Herodotus. Xenophon's style is a model of purity of Attic Greek, a quality that has made his texts the first choice for beginners in ancient Greek for many decades. This chapter discusses Xenophon's two major historical works that evidence his thematic interest in his personal experience of contemporary events and in didactic discourse, Anabasis and Hellenica. If the Anabasis is reminiscent of Herodotus’ narrative of the Persian expeditions in reverse, as the Greeks threatening Persian hegemony, the Hellenica recalls Thucydides’ discourse on the shifting of power among the Greeks. Xenophon's two major historical works present different paradigms of conflicts and shifting power.
