About the book

Xenophon's «Complete Works» presents a comprehensive anthology of his writings, encapsulating a rich tapestry of Greek philosophy, history, and military strategy. This collection includes seminal texts such as «Anabasis,» detailing his arduous journey with the Ten Thousand, and «Oeconomicus,» a treatise on household management that explores the intersection of economics and ethics. Written in a lucid and engaging prose style, Xenophon'Äôs works reflect the intellectual currents of classical Athens and offer invaluable insights into contemporary Greek society, politics, and the art of leadership. Xenophon of Athens (circa 430-354 BCE) was not only a historian and philosopher but also a soldier who shared unique firsthand experiences, profoundly influencing both contemporaneous thought and later generations. His background as a student of Socrates, coupled with his own experiences in the Persian military campaigns, equipped him with a distinctive perspective that he articulates masterfully through his writings. Often seen as a practical counterpart to Plato, Xenophon'Äôs works delve into the moral and ethical dimensions of leadership and citizenship which resonated deeply with audiences of his time. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of ancient Greek philosophy and the socio-political realities of the era, «Complete Works» stands as an essential resource. It invites both scholars and casual readers alike to engage with the thoughts of a pivotal figure whose contemplations on virtue, duty, and governance remain strikingly relevant. Xenophon'Äôs eloquent prose and incisive observations will enrich any literary exploration of Greek antiquity.
