'In 'The Sea! The Sea!' the British classical scholar Tim Rood has assembled a huge collection of ways in which Xenophon's words have, as he says, 'twisted and played' in the modern imagination ... triumphant' -- Peter Stothard, Wall Street Journal. 'an unusual and fascinating book ... delightfully compelling' --Eric Ormsby, New York Sun
'so enjoyable to read ... takes an honourable place among studies of that perenially fascinating theme, the reinterpretation by the modern world of ancient Greece' -- Tom Holland, Times Literary Supplement. 'There will be no reader, I confidently predict, who won't be taken aback at the sheer variety of Xenophon's heritage ... and who won't be delighted by the highways and byways of such a journey' --Simon Goldhill, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'a real tour de force of readable scholarship ... he tells a story that is excitingly enjoyable and displays ... the fruits of impressively wide and profound scholarship' --Anglo-Hellenic Review
The story of 'Thalatta! Thalatta' (The sea! The sea!), the shout first uttered on a mountain in eastern Turkey by the famous Ten Thousand, the army of Greek mercenaries whose adventures in what are now Turkey, Syria and Iraq were described by Athenian historian and philosopher Xenophon.
