Or Expedition Of Cyrus, And The Memorabilia Of Socrates (1860)

The Anabasis: Or Expedition Of Cyrus, And The Memorabilia Of Socrates is a historical and philosophical book written by Xenophon and first published in 1860. The Anabasis is a detailed account of the expedition of Cyrus the Younger, who led a group of Greek mercenaries into Persia to overthrow his brother Artaxerxes II. The book chronicles the journey of the Greeks through hostile territory, their battles against the Persians, and their eventual retreat back to Greece. The Memorabilia of Socrates, on the other hand, is a collection of dialogues and anecdotes about the life and teachings of the famous philosopher Socrates. Xenophon was a student of Socrates and his work provides valuable insight into the philosophy and beliefs of the ancient Greeks. The Anabasis and the Memorabilia of Socrates are two distinct works in this book, but they are often published together because they share a common theme of leadership and the importance of moral character. The Anabasis demonstrates the qualities of a good leader through the character of Xenophon, who guides his troops through difficult terrain and battles. The Memorabilia of Socrates, meanwhile, provides examples of Socrates' leadership and his commitment to living a virtuous life. Overall, The Anabasis: Or Expedition Of Cyrus, And The Memorabilia Of Socrates is a fascinating and insightful look into ancient Greek history and philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in leadership, morality, and the history of Western civilization.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
