The Greek term anabasis referred to an expedition from a coastline into the interior of a country. The term katabasis referred to a trip from the interior to the coast. So anabasis means "Expedition" or "The March Up Country" and carries the same connotation in Greek as it does in English.There are two classic texts with the name:

Anabasis (Xenophon) by the Greek writer Xenophon (431–360 BC)
Anabasis Alexandri, by the Roman historian Arrian (92–175) who wrote in Greek, is about Alexander the Great

Anabasis is also a genus of desert shrubs; see Anabasis (plant)
