interesting military term

New page

Anabasis (pronounced uh-NAB-uh-sis) is a military advance. The most famous American example is General [[William Tecumseh Sherman]]'s anabasis to the sea during the [[Civil War]]. The term is based on the gareek word for "inland march": "anabainein," which literally means "to go up or inland."

Ironically, the word has a secondary meaning of a massive retreat that is opposite from its primary meaning. That came from an anabasis that failed in 401 B.C., when Greeks fighting under [[Cyrus the Younger]] marched on the [[Persian Empire]]. The Greek historian [[Xenophon]] described their subsequent retreat in "Anabasis".
