You know he was gay, Xenophon. That’s why he took all those guys on an Anabasis if you know what I’m saying.

Woah there Tone, he led ten thousand out of Persia, but he couldn't stick the landing even with them by his side? Say what you will about his brilliance, Xenopussy was a quitter, an' thats that.
