Xenophon

Xenophon was an Athenian country gentleman born about 430 BC. He may have helped to publish Thucydides’ History, and certainly wrote his own Hellenica as a continuation of it. By his own (probably reliable) account he was a fine officer and outstanding leader, but his admiration for Sparta and devotion to Socrates, among other causes, led to his banishment. He was given an estate at Scillus and settled down to enjoy the life of a landed aristocrat, and it was during this period that he began to write histories, biographies, memoirs and specialist treatises. The defeat of Sparta in 371 forced him to move to Corinth where he probably lived for the rest of his life.

Known for his clear and straightforward prose, Xenophon's writings provide valuable insights into the societal norms, political landscapes, and military practices of ancient Greece. His works often reflect the author's pragmatic and practical approach to life, making them engaging and accessible to readers of all backgrounds. The 'Complete Works' offer a glimpse into Xenophon's varied interests and showcase his versatility as a writer in the classical era. It is a must-read for those interested in ancient Greek literature and history. Xenophon, a contemporary of Socrates and student of Socrates' philosophy, was a prominent figure in ancient Greece who participated in many historical events and military campaigns. His experiences as a soldier and leader greatly influenced his writing style and thematic choices, providing a unique perspective on the tumultuous times he lived in. Xenophon's dedication to recording historical events and philosophical discussions for future generations solidifies his importance as a scholar and writer. I highly recommend Xenophon's 'Complete Works' to anyone interested in delving into the rich tapestry of ancient Greek literature and philosophy.
