About the book

Xenophon's «The Complete Works» is a monumental collection that showcases the versatility and depth of one of ancient Greece's most significant thinkers. Comprising historical narratives, philosophical treatises, and practical guides, the anthology includes notable works such as «Anabasis,» which recounts his daring journey with the Ten Thousand, and «Memorabilia,» a series of dialogues illuminating Socratic philosophy. Written in a lucid and engaging style, Xenophon's texts blend personal experience with meticulous observation, inviting readers into the rich tapestry of classical thought and the vibrant socio-political landscape of his time, marked by the aftermath of the Peloponnesian War. Born into an aristocratic family around 430 BCE, Xenophon was a soldier, historian, and student of Socrates, experiences that informed his writings. His involvement in the military campaigns of his time, particularly as a mercenary leader, provided him with a unique perspective on leadership, ethics, and human resilience. These elements weave through his works, reflecting both the philosophical inquiries of his mentor and the pragmatic challenges of his experiences. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of classical literature, «The Complete Works of Xenophon» is indispensable. It offers not only a window into the mind of one of history's great figures but also a profound exploration of themes such as courage, loyalty, and the pursuit of knowledge, making it a vital resource for understanding the foundations of Western thought.
