I think that what happened at Cunaxa is very hard to figure out (especially since Xenophon, the "primary source," keeps using phrases like "they say that" and "it is said that" and had very good reason to emphasize Artaxerxean cowardice) but it is hard to ignore the battle completely.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
