Description
Xenophon's Cyropaedia: A Study of Politics and Empire. For over two millennia, Xenophon's Cyropaedia has been a celebrated work of ancient literature, offering insights into the life and reign of Cyrus the Great. This study sheds new light on the Cyropaedia, resolving a long-standing interpretive puzzle that has puzzled scholars for centuries. By examining the entire work, Christopher Nadon reveals the overall coherence and unity of the Cyropaedia, demonstrating how Xenophon's critique of Cyrus' achievements challenges our understanding of both republican and imperial politics. Nadon's lively and insightful analysis draws upon his deep knowledge of classical political theory, uncovering a subtlety and sophistication in the Cyropaedia that has been overlooked until now. This provocative treatment will be a significant step in restoring the status of this important work as a major contribution to our understanding of ancient politics. Hardcover, 198 pages, first edition published in 2001.
