Publisher Description
In writing he was clear and to the point; his practical mind made his work interesting. His "Anabasis" is a true story as delightful as a fiction; his "Cyropaedia" is a fiction full of truths. He wrote "Hellenica, " that carried on the history of Greece from the point at which Thucydides closed his history until the battle of Mantineia. He wrote a dialogue between Hiero and Simonides upon the position of a king, and dealt with the administration of the little realm of a man's household in his "OEconomicus, " a dialogue between Socrates and Critobulus, which includes the praise of agriculture.
Customer Reviews
The memorable thoughts of Socrates, by Xenophon
This is the kind of books that should begin everyone’s career in reading. The Iliad and the odyssey and the thoughts of Socrates, Xenophon and Plato show us how little thought has changed over the last 3000 years.
No one ever killed your ancestors or a survivor. We are the result.
Good book
Socrates’ way of thinking is still agreeable to this day; for the most part. I wonder what he would think if he had access to modern knowledge.
