| Summary |
"Las Helénicas; ó, Historia griega desde el año 411 hasta el 362 antes de…" by Jenofonte is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a continuation of Thucydides' chronicle of the Peloponnesian War, focusing on the events and changes in Greece during the years following Thucydides’ narrative. The account highlights significant military and political events, providing insights into the heroic figures and battles that defined this tumultuous period in Greek history. The opening of "Las Helénicas" begins with a transcription note detailing the modernizations made to the original text, followed by a brief prologue that emphasizes Jenofonte's recognition as a historian despite the overshadowing fame of his other works. The first chapter introduces events shortly after the naval battle off the coast of Abidos, detailing various military engagements, particularly involving Athenian and Spartan forces, such as the notable figures Alcibiades and Farnabazo. It sets the stage for the strategic complexities and factional tensions that will characterize the ensuing narrative, illustrating the chaotic landscape of Greek politics and warfare during this era.
