For those who have no idea of what we are talking about, it was Xenophon's march to the sea. Xenophon was a Greek mercenary general who was in the employ of a Persian king. He, along with his men, were in the middle of Mesopotamia when the employer decided that he really didn't want them there. They were offered peaceful passage home if they surrendered their weapons.
Xeno and his men said no and started a long march back to the Black Sea. They made it.

It would make a heck of a movie.
