XENOPHON

Greek historian Xenophon was said to have been quite handsome.

As a soldier, Xenophon fought together with Cyrus the Younger at the Battle of Cunaxa.

He reported about his adventures in his work Anabasis Kyrou, The Expedition of Cyrus, which hit the ancient bestseller list.


Among other things, Xenophon reported on the Battle of Leuctra.

Xenophon was an admirer of Socrates.
