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. "Hellenica, " a history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362, begins as a continuation of Thucydides' account. There are four works on Socrates (collected in Volume IV of the Loeb Xenophon edition). In "Memorabilia" Xenophon adds to Plato's picture of Socrates from a different viewpoint. The "Apology" is an interesting complement to Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial. Xenophon's "Symposium" portrays a dinner party at which Socrates speaks of love; and "Oeconomicus" has him giving advice on household management and married life. "Cyropaedia, " a historical romance on the education of Cyrus (the Elder), reflects Xenophon's ideas about rulers and government; the Loeb edition is in two volumes. We also have his "Hiero, " a dialogue on government; "Agesilaus, " in praise of that king; "Constitution of Lacedaemon" (on the Spartan system); "Ways and Means" (on the finances of Athens); "Manual for a Cavalry Commander;" a good manual of "Horsemanship;" and a lively "Hunting with Hounds. The Constitution of the Athenians, " though clearly not by Xenophon, is an interesting document on politics at Athens. These eight books are collected in the last of the seven volumes of the Loeb Classical Library edition of Xenophon.

Xenophon’s Anabasis is a true story of remarkable adventures. Hellenica, a history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362, begins as a continuation of Thucydides’ account. There are four works on Socrates (collected in Volume IV of the Loeb Xenophon edition). In Memorabilia Xenophon adds to Plato’s picture of Socrates from a different viewpoint. The Apology is an interesting complement to Plato’s account of Socrates’ defense at his trial. Xenophon’s Symposium portrays a dinner party at which Socrates speaks of love; and Oeconomicus has him giving advice on household management and married life. Cyropaedia, a historical romance on the education of Cyrus (the Elder), reflects Xenophon’s ideas about rulers and government; the Loeb edition is in two volumes.
We also have his Hiero, a dialogue on government; Agesilaus, in praise of that king; Constitution of Lacedaemon (on the Spartan system); Ways and Means (on the finances of Athens); Manual for a Cavalry Commander; a good manual of Horsemanship; and a lively Hunting with Hounds. The Constitution of the Athenians, though clearly not by Xenophon, is an interesting document on politics at Athens.

As I get older, I become more appreciative of the challenges of true leadership: when the very survival of the group is at stake and the men are tired and hungry, how do you persuade them to do the right thing. It is only too easy to rumors and innuendos to spread. So much of the book seems to be a justification for the actions taken by the author.

读《长征记》是为了读《亚历山大远征记》做准备,却发现这是一本关于leadership的好书。 色诺芬原本并非将军,也并非士兵,他参加这次远征纯粹是受好友邀请,想去结交居鲁士,从而卷入其中的。这支雇佣军原本来自希腊不同民族,在领队的将军和军官均被骗杀害后,色诺芬挺身而...
评分读完了色诺芬《长征记》 商务学术名著83版 这样的书往往被解读为一种寓言,如同奥德赛,尤其是当其时间上更为接近于我们,记述更为翔实,而且其的所赴范围更远。 至少可以解读出以下这些: 1.统治的技巧,包括雄辩与修辞术,以及不断地审视敌友和巧妙地周旋; 2.民主的希腊精神...
评分色诺芬的长征虽然跟鼎鼎大名的长征相距甚远,但也可以做一些对比: 1、 两者名为“长征”,或者“战略性转移”,其实都是失利后的大撤退。当然,色诺芬的长征起因更为搞笑,赢了战争,雇主死了,然后军队首领们被鸿门宴给咔嚓了,原本色诺芬只是过来镀个金、体验下战争生活,结...
评分色诺芬参与的这次前401-400年的长征,只会发生在伯罗奔尼撒战争之后。 以民主共和为代表的雅典已然衰落,斯巴达寡头政体全盛,希腊已成“帝国”,战争之后的许多职业军人转化为以将官攀附关系维持的雇佣军性质的部队。所以这些来自希腊不同地域的将官们带领各自军队,参与小居...
