| | Ten Thousand (Greek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Ten Thousand were a group of mercenary units, mainly Greek, drawn up by Cyrus the Younger to attempt to wrest the throne of the Persian Empire from his brother, Artaxerxes II. |
 | | When Tissaphernes arrested and executed Clearchus, Proxenus, Menon, Agias (possibly the same person as Sophaenetus), and Socrates, their places were taken by Xenophon, Timasion, Xanthicles, Cleanor, and Philesius, with the Spartan Chirisophus as the general commander. |
 | | The book The Ten Thousand by Michael Curtis Ford is a fictional account of this group's exploits. |
