Fiction

The cry of Xenophon's soldiers when they reach the sea (" Thalatta! Thalatta! ") is mentioned in the second English translation of Jules Verne 's Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) when the expedition discovers an underground ocean (though the reference is absent from the original French text).

The Paul Davies novella Grace: A Story (1996) is a fantasy that details the progress of Xenophon's army through Armenia to Trabzon.

Michael Curtis Ford wrote The Ten Thousand (2001); it follows Xenophon from his childhood until death.

The Sol Yurick novel The Warriors (1965) was directly based on Anabasis. The novel was adapted into the cult classic film The Warriors (1979).
