7. For Greek prose:

The Greeks were now in a still greater difficulty, being deprived of their proper leaders, and the enemy being near them with an overwhelming force. So at first they were in despair, and for a night remained inactive, waiting for the enemy to set upon them, but making no preparations to resist. For the majority of mankind would never achieve anything great, if there were no brave or wise men at hand to take the lead. If Xenophon had not called them together and urged them not to give way to despair, but to hold a consultation and arrange what should be done, perhaps they would never have marched away, but would all have been captured or destroyed by the Persians. But Xenophon advised them to elect officers in place of those who had been murdered and was himself chosen general. They determined to aim for the sea and not to go back the same way as they had come; and after marching throughout the winter and suffering great hardships they at last arrived at Trapezus, and were thence conducted back to their friends.
