Long introduction (I know
), so I thank them 4 the inspiration.Just today I've bought The Warriors reprint, I've always got an old english version (a friend of mine bought it some years ago in New York) and an old italian version... you know in Italy it was printed only one time.
Now the point is that in 2007 version there's a "post-indroduction" I've never read, by S.Yurick dated 2003, where I've read the autor's inspiration was indeed ANABASI by SENOFONTE.
It's another ancient greek story based on a real battle between greeks and persians, IV Century b.C.,
and Senofonte was also one of the 10000 greek soldiers-warriors fought those days. Then he wrote the story, after becoming a historiographer.
Anabasi speaks about: fights, betrayals (and deaths thanks to them) and the greek victory in Cunassa; and about greeks coming back home after 1 very hard year. (I've just studied the plot
).So, I used the search button... no results, has anyone got a book copy containing that 2003 post-introduction? 8)
