Anabasis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greek term anabasis referred to an expedition from a coastline up into the interior of a country. The term katabasis referred to a trip from the interior down to the coast. So anabasis means "Expedition" or "The March Up Country" and carries the same connotation in Greek as it does in English. There are two classic texts with the name:
- Anabasis (Xenophon) by the Greek writer Xenophon (431–360 BC)
- Anabasis Alexandri, by the Greek historian Arrian (92–175) is about Alexander the Great
Also:
- Anabase (poetry), a book of poems by Saint-John Perse in French which was translated by T.S. Eliot
- Anabasis (genus) is also a genus of desert shrubs
