Xenophon (c.430-355BC) Historian, soldier and essayist from Athens, Xenophon was educated by Plato and worked as a mercenary under Cyrus the Younger of Persia in his fight against his brother Artaterxes II. Xenophon led the Greek force back to safety in a Greek colony when Cyrus was killed in the battle of Cunaxa in 401 BC. This force of "Ten Thousand" later joined the Spartans, who were fighting the Persian leaders in Asia Minor, something which eventually made Xenophon rich. In 394 BC he joined the court of the Spartan king Agelisaus II, and was present at the Battle of Coronea the same year, where the Spartans defeated the Athenian and Theban armies. For this, Xenophon was convicted of treachury by the Athenians, and he was sentenced to banishment. He was then given an estate in Elis by the Spartan government, but when the Thebans defeated the Spartans at the battle of Leuctra 13 years later, he was forced to leave his home. The rest of is life he spent in Corinth. His son Gryllos was the one who killed Epaminondas in battle, only to die himself right after. Xenophon learnt the news while he was making a sacrifice to the gods. He took off his wreath in grief, but when he was told that his son had died killing Epaminondas he put the wreath on again and continued the sacrifice.

Home History Iran's Guide Society Cyropaedia of Xenophon; The Life of Cyrus The Great By: Xenophon (c. 430 - 355 BCE) Books: 1 Book Book 1, Section 1 [1.1.1] The thought once occurred to us how many republics have been overthrown by people who preferred to live under any form of government other than a republican, and again, how many monarchies and how many oligarchies in times past have been abolished by the people. We reflected, moreover, how many of those individuals who have aspired to absolute power have either been deposed once for all and that right quickly; or if they have continued in power, no matter for how short a time, they are objects of wonder as having proved to be wise and happy men. Then, too, we had observed, we thought, that even in private homes some people who had rather more than the usual number of servants and some also who had only a very few were nevertheless, though nominally masters, quite unable to assert their authority over even those few. [1.1.2] And in addition to this, we reflected that are the rulers of their horses, and that all who are called herdsmen might properly be regarded as the rulers of the animals over which they are placed in charge. Now we noticed, as we thought, that all these herds obeyed their keepers more readily than men obey their rulers. For the herds go wherever their keeper directs them and graze in those places to which he leads them and keep out of those from which he excludes them. They allow their keeper, moreover, to enjoy, just as he will, the profits that accrue from them. And then again, we have never known of a herd conspiring against its keeper, either to refuse obedience to him or to deny him the privilege of enjoying the profits that accrue. At the same time, herds are more intractable to strangers than to their rulers and those who derive profit from them. Men, however, conspire against none sooner than against those whom they see attempting to rule over them.

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Xenophon, I, Hellenica Books 1-4 Xenophon Translated by Carleton L. Brownson Xenophon (ca. 430 to ca. 354 BCE ) was a wealthy Athenian and friend of Socrates. He left Athens in 401 and joined an expedition including ten thousand Greeks led by the Persian governor Cyrus against the Persian king. After the defeat of Cyrus, it fell to Xenophon to lead the Greeks from the gates of Babylon back to the coast through inhospitable lands. Later he wrote the famous vivid account of this 'March Up-Country' ( Anabasis ); but meanwhile he entered service under the Spartans against the Persian king, married happily, and joined the staff of the Spartan king, Agesilaus. But Athens was at war with Sparta in 394 and so exiled Xenophon. The Spartans gave him an estate near Elis where he lived for years writing and hunting and educating his sons. Reconciled to Sparta, Athens restored Xenophon to honour but he preferred to retire to Corinth. Xenophon's Anabasis is a true story of remarkable adventures.

Xenophon From LoveToKnow 1911 XENOPHON, Greek historian and philosophical essayist, the son of Gryllus, was born at Athens about 430 B.c 1 He belonged to an equestrian family of the deme of Erchia. It may be inferred from passages in the Hellenica that he fought at Arginusae (406), and that he was present at the return of Alcibiades (408), the trial of the Generals and the overthrow of the Thirty. Early in life he came under the influence of Socrates , but an active life had more attraction for him. In 401, being invited by his friend Proxenus to join the expedition of the younger Cyrus against his brother, Artaxerxes II. of Persia , he at once accepted the offer. It held out the prospect of riches and honour, while he was little likely to find favour in democratic Athens, where the knights were regarded with suspicion as having supported the Thirty. At the suggestion of Socrates, Xenophon went to Delphi to consult the oracle ; but his mind was already made up, and he at once proceeded to Sardis , the place of rendezvous . Of the expedition itself he has given a full and detailed account in his Anabasis or the "Up-Country March." After the battle of Cunaxa (401), in which Cyrus lost his life, the officers in command of the Greeks were treacherously murdered by the Persian

We have organized a number of successful visits and conferences in Russia and Ukraine. This page serves as a central link to topical pages relating to these subjects. For convenience the material is divided into two categories, general Military History and Russian-Ukrainian History, but much of the latter is also about military affairs.

Reviewed by Antony G. Keen, University of Manchester. "It seems at times that too little attention is paid to [the Cyropaedia ] as a literary composition in its own right." So G. in the first paragraph of her preface (p. vii). This was almost certainly true when G. began the Oxford doctoral thesis that eventually became the present work, but is rather less so now, for a great number of publications on the Cyropaedia have appeared in recent years; not only have there been articles, but two important books appeared in 1989. It would seem that one of those strange coincidences that sometimes enliven scholarship has occurred searching for a subject that had been largely neglected, all these scholars thought as if with one mind: "Ah, the Cyropaedia In such a situation the publication that came out last and had time to take account of the preceding works ought to come out best; thus G.'s book ought to be the definitive work to date on the Cyropaedia.

But when we reflected that, who reduced to obedience a vast number of men and cities and nations, we were then compelled to change our opinion and decide that to rule men might be a task neither impossible nor even difficult, if one should only go about it in an intelligent manner. At all events, we know that people obeyed Cyrus willingly, although some of them were distant from him a journey of many days, and others of many months; others, although they had never seen him, and still others who knew well that they never should see him. Nevertheless they were all willing to be his subjects.

Xenophon Xenophon was a soldier, mercenary and Athenian student of Socrates and is known for his writings on the history of his own times, the sayings of Socrates, and the life of Greece. While a young man, Xenophon participated in the expedition led by Cyrus the Younger against his older brother, the emperor Artaxerxes II of Persia, in 401 BC. In this effort, Cyrus used many Greek mercenaries left unemployed by the cessation of the Peloponnesian War. Cyrus fought Artaxerxes at Cunaxa: the Greeks were victorious but Cyrus was killed, and shortly thereafter their general, Clearchus of Sparta, was invited to a peace conference, betrayed, and executed. The mercenaries, the Ten Thousand Greeks, found themselves deep in hostile territory, near the heart of Mesopotamia, far from the sea, and without leadership. They elected new leaders, including Xenophon himself, and fought their way north through hostile Persians, Armenians, and Kurds to Trapezus on the coast of the Black Sea and then sailed westward and back to Greece. In Thrace, they helped Seuthes II make himself king. Xenophon's record of this expedition and the journey home was titled Anabasis ("The Expedition" or "The March Up Country" ).
