	Xenophon - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Spartans provided a home for him at Scillus in Elis, about two miles from Olympia; there he settled down to indulge his tastes for sport and literature.
		The Anabasis (composed at Scillus between 379 and 371) is a work of singular interest, and is brightly and pleasantly written.
		Xenophon, like Caesar, tells the story in the third person, and there is a straightforward manliness about the style, with a distinct flavour of a cheerful lightheartedness, which at once enlists our sympathies.

	Xenophon [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		His time during his long residence at Scillus was employed in hunting, writing, and entertaining his friends; and perhaps the Anabasis and part of the Hellenica were composed here.
		The treatise on hunting and that on the horse were probably also written during this time, when amusement and exercise of this kind formed part of his occupation.
		He is said to have retired to Corinth after his expulsion from Scillus, and as we know nothing more, we assume that he died there some time around 357.

	Xenophon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Xenophon was later exiled from Athens, probably because he fought under the Spartan king Agesilaus against Athens at Coroneia.
