The exact date of the Sacred Band's creation and whether it was created before or after the Symposium of Plato ( c. 424 – 347 BC ) and the similarly titled Symposium by his rival Xenophon ( c. 430 – 354 BC ), has also long been debated.

A third historian, Xenophon, began his " Hellenica " where Thucydides ended his work about 411 BC and carried his history to 362 BC.

The period of Greek history from 411 – 362 BC is primarily attested by the historian Xenophon, who evidently saw his work as continuation of Thucydides's History of the Peloponnesian War.

In ancient Greece it was known as " κρίθινος οἶνος " ( krithinos oinos ), " barley wine " and it is mentioned amongst others by Greek historians Xenophon in his work Anabasis and Polybius in his work The Histories, where he mentions that Phaeacians kept barleywine in silver and golden kraters.

Anabasis of Alexander is perhaps his best known work and is generally considered one of the best sources on the campaigns of Alexander the Great, not to be confused with Anabasis, then best-known work of the Athenian military leader and author Xenophon from the 4th century BC.

He considered his Cynegeticon, (" On Hunting "), as an addition to the work of the same name by Xenophon.

Anabasis ( Ἀνάβασις – Greek for " going up ") is the most famous work, in seven books, of the Greek professional soldier and writer Xenophon.

His work as a military intellectual places him in the tradition of Xenophon, Julius Caesar, Ammianus Marcellinus, and Flavius Merobaudes.

Henry Graham Dakyns, a Victorian-era scholar who translated many works by both Plato and Xenophon, believed that Plato knew of this work, and that it influenced him to some degree when he wrote his own Symposium.

However, most later scholars have taken one particular argument, the argument against an army of lovers in Socrates ' final speech, as proof that Xenophon had based his work on Plato's, since this concept is mentioned in Plato's work.

The campaigns of Xenophon illustrated how very vulnerable it had become to attack by an army organised along Greek lines, but the Greek city-states had weakened each other irreparably through in-fighting.
