EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in ancient history - the arrival of Xenophon and the Ten Thousand, the Greek contingent of Cyrus the Younger's army, at the Black Sea after their fateful Battle of Cunaxa in 401 B. C. Illustrated by John Steeple Davis, this artwork brings to life Xenophon's epic tale as recounted in his renowned work "Anabasis". In this scene, we witness a formidable army clad in iron age armor and mounted on powerful horses. The warriors stand tall with spears held high and shields gleaming under the sun. Their helmets signify their readiness for battle while their determined expressions reveal their unwavering spirit. As they reach the seashore, surrounded by rocky terrain, these brave men have endured countless trials during their arduous journey through Persian territory. Yet here they stand victorious against all odds - a testament to human resilience and courage. Xenophon himself was not only an esteemed historian but also an essayist who eloquently chronicled this extraordinary expedition. Through his writings, he immortalized these valiant warriors who ventured far from home to fight for honor and survival. This print serves as a tribute to those fearless souls who defied adversity and triumphed against great challenges. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, bravery can lead us towards new horizons - just like Xenophon and his Ten Thousand did when they arrived at the shores of the Black Sea so many centuries ago.
