Description

Xenophon's Seven Volumes offer a unique insight into ancient Greece through the writings of Xenophon himself. A contemporary and friend of Socrates, Xenophon drew upon his own experiences to create a rich tapestry of history, philosophy, and personal reflection. This collection includes Xenophon's famous account of the "March Up-Country" (Anabasis), as well as Hellenica, which provides a detailed history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362. Additionally, there are four works on Socrates, offering a diverse perspective on the life and teachings of this influential philosopher. Xenophon's writings also include Cyropaedia, a historical romance that explores the education of Cyrus (the Elder), reflecting his ideas about rulers and government. This edition is presented in two volumes, providing a comprehensive understanding of Xenophon's thoughts and experiences.
