Battle of Cunaxa (401 BC): 14,000 Greeks and Rebels against 40,000 Persians
Ten thousand Greeks against an entire empire. This documentary will reveal the great battles and secrets of world history in the heart of Persia.
Cunaxa became the place where gold clashed with steel, and treachery with valor. In this video: hoplite tactics against scythed chariots, an analysis of Cyrus the Younger's mistakes, and a unique system for army survival in complete isolation. You'll see how Xenophon transformed a demoralized crowd into a cohesive force capable of surmounting the snows of Armenia and the ambushes of the Carduchians. What did the Greeks really see in the satrap's tent, and what shameful secret lies behind the retreat of the "Ten Thousand"?
