An introduction to the "Cyropaedia"; Socrates in Persia; the symposia of the "Cyropaedia"; romance, revenge and pathos - the novellas of the "Cyropaedia"; Xenophon and his hero.
`this is a lively and interesting book, and one more widely
informative than its title might suggest...I have to admit that I
myself have never yet read more than the odd bit of it.
Nevertheless this lucid and lively book succeeds in leaving me with
the strong feeling that, by not reading more, I am missing a rare
treat.'
Greece and Rome
`...it contains much that is worth reading. I myself found a number
of points at which useful and enlightening information was
presented.'
Antony G Keen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 4.6 1993
`G.'s exploration of the Cyropaedia provides a different and richly
documented mode of reading Xenophon's most ambitious work.'
Philip A. Stadter, University of North Carolina, Chapel HIll, The
Classical Review, Vol. XLIV, No. 2, 1994
`this immensely learned and well-organised book will be
indispensable.'
