[Kraxis]

While not really a work of litterature as say Homer, Ovid, Seneca ect ect. it is still highly entertaining.

Xenophon's Anabasis.
It is a work of art in my mind. The constant references to himself, but in a detached way (unlike Ceasar who likes to present hiomself as a good sarmaritan and nice person, to the point that he becomes naive). Xenophon in the Anabasis has weaknesses that can't be attributed to coming from other strengths (such as Ceasar's trust in subject who then betray him). That makes him a very believeable figure.

Also, the entire story has some legendary and almost mythological situations. Meeting strange people and walking in odd lands. Eating new food and experiencing weather unlike anything before. These guys really do go about like Jasons, but with the added spice of their trek actually being a work of truth rather than mythological fiction (Jason didn't exist, but the way he travelled did exist as did the golden fleece in general).
