Hellenica
Hellenica (Ἑλληνικά) simply means writings on Greek (Hellenic) subjects. Several histories of fourth-century Greece, written in the mold of Thucydides or straying from it, have borne the conventional Latin title Hellenica. The surviving Hellenica is an important work of the Greek writer Xenophon and one of the principal sources for the final seven years of the Peloponnesian War not covered by Thucydides, and the war's aftermath.
Xenophon's Hellenica
Many consider this a very personal work, written by Xenophon in retirement on his Spartan estate, intended primarily for circulation among his friends, for people who knew the main protagonists and events, often because they had participated in them. Xenophon's account starts in 411 BCE, the year where Thucydides breaks off, and ends in 362 BCE, the year of the Battle of Mantineia. There is virtually no transition between the two works, to the extent that the opening words of Hellenica, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα, are translated as After this, or sometimes Following these events.

How Long?
by: Rod StewartHow long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long baby?
Oh, your friends and their gentle persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,
Tell me honey
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on,
going on, going on?
how long has this been going on?
how long has this been going on,
going on, going on, going on?
How long, honey, oh, has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
how long has this been going on, going on, going on, going on?
how long has this been going on, going on, going on?
You been treaten me mad you been treaten me bad
and it's been going on, going on, going on
I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
I ain't quite the fool you mean
but it's been going on, going on, going on, going on.
