(ἀναβάσις), the title of the work of Xenophon describing the expedition of Cyrus the younger against his brother Artaxerxes of Persia, 401 years B.C. Major Rennell, in an elaborate memoir, has estimated the retreat of the 10,000 Greek auxiliaries of Cyrus as equal to a distance of 3465 English miles (taking the stadia of Xenophon at 10 to our mile), through a difficult, and to them, unknown country. Arrian's account of the expedition of Alexander the Great is likewise called Anabasis.
