One of the more important works of the ancient Greek writer, soldier, and historian Xenophon, «Hellenica» is essentially a history of Greek occurrences from 411 to 362 BCE. It continues a similar account begun by Thucydides to detail the events of the Peloponnesian War. Xenophon is the principal source for today's historians on the last seven years of this war, including the Battle of Mantineia, as well as the war's aftermath. Written during Xenophon's retirement on his estate in...

Known best for his writings on the history of his own times, Xenophon (435-354 B.C.) was a philosopher, soldier, and mercenary who wrote several essays dealing with military practices of the ancient world. «On Horsemanship», one of his earliest known works, concentrates on the various aspects of selecting, training, and caring for a horse, and is still an extraordinary guide to equestrian study even 2,300 years after it was originally written. In «The Duties of a Hipparch», Xenophon employs his...

A Greek soldier, wealthy Athenian, Attic poet, and historian in the late 5th century B.C., Xenophon was a prolific writer and friend of Socrates during his lifetime. His «Memorabilia» directly defends the charges against Socrates, which were largely religious, but also political, in nature. This work then relates a series of episodes in which Socrates converses with a variety of individuals, from friends to rivals to important Greeks of his day, proving the value and wisdom of Socrates'...

Xenophon accompanied the Ten Thousand, a large army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger, who intended to seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II.

Cyropaedia is a biography of Cyrus the Great, the founder of Achaemenid Empire and the first Persian Empire. It is «a political romance, describing the education of the ideal ruler, trained to rule as a benevolent despot over his admiring and willing subjects.» Aspects of it would become a model for medieval writers of the genre known as mirrors for princes. In turn it was a strong influence upon the most well-known but atypical of these, Machiavelli's The Prince.

Hellenica is one of the most important primary sources for the History of the Peloponnesian War and the war's aftermath. 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. It covers the events in Greece from 411 to 362 BC, and is considered to be the continuation of the History of the...

Xenophon war ein antiker griechischer Politiker und Schrifsteller. Er war ein Schüler des Sokrates. Xenophons Werke, insbesondere die sokratischen Schriften und die Anabasis, waren unter anderem wegen ihrer nüchtern-klaren Sprache beliebt (er wurde unter anderem von Marcus Tullius Cicero gelesen und gelobt); er bleibt auch bis heute ein wichtiges Stilvorbild für das attische Griechisch. Da Xenophon teilweise Augenzeuge der berichteten Ereignisse war, ist er außerdem eine wichtige Quelle für die...
