In 401 BC, the Persian Empire faced an internal crisis that nearly tore it apart. Artaxerxes II, the Great King, found himself opposed by his younger brother Cyrus the Younger, who marched a massive army—including the famous Ten Thousand Greek mercenaries—toward the capital at Susa. This episode explores the Battle of Cunaxa, the decisive clash where Cyrus died but the imperial core held firm. We examine how Artaxerxes managed the political fallout, the betrayal of Greek generals like Memnon and Proxenus, and the perilous retreat led by Cleon. By focusing on this civil war, we see the Achaemenid military machine in action not against foreign invaders, but defending its own legitimacy. The story reveals the complex loyalties within the royal family, the role of Spartan forces, and how this conflict reshaped the balance of power between Persia and Greece for decades to come. #ArtaxerxesII #CyrusTheYounger #BattleOfCunaxa #TenThousand #AchaemenidEmpire #PersianHistory #Cleobulus #MemnonOfRhodes #Proxenus #Cleon #Sparta #Xenophon #Anabasis #Cunaxa #Susa #GreekMercenaries #CivilWar #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
