His most famous book is the Anabasis, sometimes called "The March of the Ten Thousand": he was part of a Greek army hired to fight in Persia, their side lost, their generals were killed, and Xenophon helped lead the survivors on a long, dangerous walk home through enemy land — the famous moment is when the men climb a hill, see water, and shout "The sea! The sea!" He also knew Socrates as a young man and wrote about him, which is why his name turns up in philosophy classes too: with Plato, he is one of the two people who wrote down what Socrates said.
