Review: Fantastic - and part of a great set - This is the third of the Landmark editions (the others being Herodotus and Thucydides), a series designed for people who want to understand these Greek classics, but who don't already have an encylopaedic knowledge of the other sources. The books fill in the historical gaps, provide maps so that you know where the authors are talking about (since if you are enything like me, you will have next to no idea of where say Megara is in relation to Sparta or Eretria - and that's before we even get started on the places in Asia!), and provide chronologies, notes, pictures and appendices (on subjects such as trireme warfare, Ancient greek religion, units of measurement etc), to keep you fully in the picture. Xenophon's Hellenika is the primary source for the period between 411 and 362BC ie. the end of and aftermath of the Peloponnesian War. It therefore effectively completes the story started by Thucydides. In this edition are also to be found relevant texts from the other major sources of the period: Diodorus Siculus and the Oxyrhynchus historian; enabling a side by side comparison with the Xenophon text. All in all a terrific book - ideal for people coming to the subject with little knowledge, but with masses of information to tempt the well informed also!
Review: The Landmark's Landmark - An essential work for anyone interested in Xenophon, whether for general readership or research activities. It literally dips the Hellenika in a coat of context: a brilliant introduction by David Thomas that will have you wanting more Xenophon; a great translation given added meaning with a plethora of maps and images; a series of authoritative appendices by Classical experts on many aspects of the "Age of Xenophon"; and access to relevant translations of the works of ancient authors who sometimes support, contradict or add to Xenophon's history. In fact, the inclusion of rival histories of the period that Xenophon narrates, discreetly turns the reader into a budding amateur historian -- you will find yourself debating with Xenophon, Diodorus and the mysterious Oxyrhynchus historian. The Landmark's Landmark in my opinion (although the Landmark Arrian now beckons!).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Landmark classical texts
*by P***S on 18 December 2011*

This series is an essential. It is not possible to read ancient historical texts without maps. This series provides lots of maps. Lots are needed to read about territories, lands and towns that emerged, faded or changed over time, sometimes even over a relatively short time. It is hard to explain why other publishers produce such texts without maps or with inadequate maps.
