Xenophon Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Life Writings Xenophon's Account of Socrates Life An Athenian, the son of Gryllus, Xenophon was born about 444 BCE. In his early life he was a pupil of Socrates; but the turning point in his career came when he decided to serve in the Greek contingent raised by Cyrus against Artaxerxes in 401. Xenophon himself mentions the circumstances under which he joined this army ( Anab Anab. 7:8, 23). He tells the story himself, and is evidently not ashamed of it. In other ways also he showed himself the prototype of an adventurous leader of condottieri , with no ties of country or preference of nationality. He formed a scheme for establishing a town with the Ten Thousand on the shores of the Euxine; but it fell through. He joined the Spartans, as has been seen, and he continued in their service even when they were at war with Athens. Agesilaus, the Spartan, was commanding the Lacedaemonian forces in Asia against the Persians in 396, and Xenophon was with him at least during part of the campaign. When Agesilaus was recalled (394), Xenophon accompanied him, and he was on the side of the Lacedaemonians in the battle which they fought at Coronea (394) against the Athenians. As a natural consequence a decree of exile was passed against him at Athens. It seems that he went to Sparta with Agesilaus after the battle of Coronea, and soon after he settled at Scillus in Elis, not far from Olympia, a spot of which he has given a description in the

XENOPHON Rev E. M. Walker John H. Freese 11th edition, Encyclopedia Britannica, vol 28, pps., 885-887 XENOPHON, Greek historian and philosophical essayist, the son of Gryllus, was born at Athens about 430 B.C.' He belonged to an equestrian family of the deme of Erchia. It may be inferred from passages in the Hellenica that he fought at Arginusae (406), and that he was present at the return of Alcibiades (408), the trial of the Generals and the overthrow of the Thirty. Early in life he came under the influence of Socrates, but an active life had more attraction for him. In 401, being invited by his friend Proxenus to join the expedition of the younger Cyrus against his brother, Artaxerxes II. of Persia, he at once accepted the offer. It held out the prospect of riches and honor, while he was little likely to find favor in democratic Athens, where the knights were regarded with suspicion as having supported the Thirty. At the suggestion of Socrates, Xenophon went to Delphi to consult the oracle; but his mind was already made up, and he at once proceeded to Sardis, the place of rendezvous. Of the expedition itself he has given a full and detailed account in his Anabasis

XENOPHON on the SPARTANS Lycurgus ... ... thought that female slaves were competent to furnish clothes; and, considering that the PRODUCTION OF CHILDREN WAS THE NOBLEST DUTY OF THE FREE, he enacted ...that the female should practice bodily exercise no less than the male sex..." .....He ordained that a man should think it shame to be seen going in to his wife, or coming out from her. When married people meet in this way, they must feel stronger desire for the company of one another...and produce more robust offspring...." .....He took from the men the liberty of marrying when each of them pleased, and appointed that they should contract marriages only when they were in full bodily vigor, deeming this injunction also conducive to producing excellent offspring... An old man should introduce to his wife whatever man in the prime of life he admired for his bodily and mental qualities, so that she might have children by him... He also assigned some of the grown-up boys as "scourge-bearers", so that they might inflict whatever punishment was necessary (on younger boys), so that the great dread of DISGRACE, and great willingness to obey, prevailed among them. Lycurgus, though he did not give the boys permisson to take what they wanted without trouble, DID GIVE them the liberty to steal certain things to relieve the cravings of nature; and he made it honorable to steal as many cheeses as possible... He taught the children from a desire to render them more dexterous in securing provisions, and better qualified for warfare."

Ancient History Sourcebook: Xenophon: The Polity Of The Spartans, C. 375 BCE Ancient History Sourcebook version of xenophon's c. 375 BC text, modified by Prof. Arkenburg of California State University at Fullerton from Fred Fling's 1907 English translation. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/xeno-sparta1.html

Back to Ancient History Sourcebook Ancient History Sourcebook: Xenophon (c.428-c.354 BCE) The Polity of the Spartans, c. 375 BCE I recall the astonishment with which I first noted the unique position of Sparta among the states of Hellas, the relatively sparse population, and at the same time the extraordinary powers and prestige of the community. I was puzzled to account for the fact. It was only when I came to consider the peculiar institutions of the Spartans, that my wonderment ceased. When we turn to Lycurgos, instead of leaving it to each member of the state privately to appoint a slave to be his son's tutor, he set over the young Spartans a public guardianthe paidonomos -with complete authority over them. This guardian was elected from those who filled the highest magistracies. He had authority to hold musters of the boys, and as their guardian, in case of any misbehavior, to chastise severely. Lycurgos further provided the guardian with a body of youths in the prime of life and bearing whips to inflict punishment when necessary, with this happy result, that in Sparta modesty and obedience ever go hand in hand, nor is there lack of either. Instead of softening their feet with shoe or sandal, his rule was to make them hardy through going barefoot. This habit, if practiced, would, as he believed, enable them to scale heights more easily and clamber down precipices with less danger. In fact, with his feet so trained the young Spartan would leap and spring and run faster unshod than another in the ordinary way. Instead of making them effeminate with a variety of clothes, his rule was to habituate them to a single garment the whole year through, thinking that so they would be better prepared to withstand the variations of heat and cold. Again, as regards food, according to his regulation, the

THE WORLD OF XENOPHON Liverpool, July 1999 An International Conference on Xenophon, to be held at The University of Liverpool from Wednesday 7th July to Saturday 10th July 1999 The Conference will be held at the Derby and Rathbone Conference site in Liverpool. Background In the thirty years since H.R.Breitenbach's Pauly-Wissowa article Xenophontic scholarship has undergone not only a renaissance but a metamorphosis. The mere quantity of material - including over twenty monographs and commentaries - reflects an incontestable rebirth of interest. But the accompanying transformation of attitude is even more striking. Xenophon has always seemed vulnerable to the charge of being an amateur who practised many trades and was second-rate at all of them - a heinous sin from the standpoint of professional academics. Yet in the last generation a series of scholars - predominantly from an Anglo-American tradition now particularly hostile to amateurism - has grappled with Xenophon's oeuvre and, without forswearing the right to criticize, has conceded that its author should be taken seriously as a distinctive voice on the history, society and thought-world of the later classical (and pre-hellenistic) era. Xenophon has been the beneficiary of several independent trends in scholarship. Growing interest in the political road from the Peloponnesian War to Philip II, improved analysis of the peculiarities of Sparta, an ever-increasing concern with socio-economic structures, social institutions (e.g. the symposium) and issues of gender, the remarkable development in Achaemenid Persian studies and in work on the Ancient Novel, greater sensitization of historians and literary scholars to the prevalence and pitfalls of biographical or quasi-biographical discourse in antiquity - all these have given fresh prominence to

18. Xenophon: On The Art Of Horsemanship World's earliest written document on Horsemanship (360 B.C.). Online Translation from Old Greek. http://angelsfall.eshire.net/horse/onhorsemanship.htm

Replay Ad On the Art of Horsemanship On the Art of Horsemanship comes to us from 360 B.C.E., the work of the Athenian cavalryman Xenophon. It is the oldest known text on horseback riding still in existence, and the first work known to emphasize training techniques that account for the state of the horse's psyche as well as his body. The work is divided into eleven chapters, and deals with the purchase, care and training of horses. It also deals, to some extent, with the construction of stables and the equipment needed for several aspects of horsemanship. For the purposes of this project, I examined two translations of On the Art of Horsemanship . The first is Stefan Welebny's translation at HorseClick.com . The second is E.C. Marchant's translation at the Perseus Digital Library . Each translation features its own individual strengths and weaknesses. What follows is a brief summary of and commentary on the chapters of On the Art of Horsemanship , based on these translations. (1) How to Buy a Young Horse (2) On the Education and Training of Young Horses (3) Guidelines for the Purchase of a Trained Horse (4) On Horse Care (5) Directives for the Groom (6) About Riding (7) Training the War Horse (8) On the Treatment of Spirited Horses : This chapter seems almost like a concession to a stubborn reader, as Xenophon repeatedly insists that it is best not to buy a spirited or lazy horse at all. Nevertheless, he does offer advice on the handling of such animals. In essence, he advises the rider to be gentle with a spirited horse, for suddenness can startle or anger the animal. He also recommends long, sustained rides to help tire and calm the horse. One should not race a spirited horse because it excites him. The smooth bit is recommended. If a harsh bit is used, it should be handled very lightly so as not to jolt the horse. The rider should have a quiet seat and teach the horse to respond to spoken commands rather than legs and hand. He must also be able to calm the horse by voice. Xenophon reiterates that a spirited horse is a poor choice for war, then closes with the statement the opposite strategies are needed in working with a lazy horse.

Xenophon Search ongoing What This Is Truth Biz ... Sans-Serif I work at Sun Microsystems. The opinions expressed here are my own, and neither Sun nor any other party necessarily agrees with them. A few months back I talked up Herodotus ; on today’s Classic Authors Hit Parade is Xenophon, whose Conversations of Socrates carried me most of the long way from Vancouver to Heathrow today (these new Powerbooks get two hours max, four if you turn the screen off and use it as a music box). The Socrates is a bit of a plodder, but herewith an unabashed rave over his Anabasis , a totally unbelievable true story well-told, and some general remarks as to why you might want to read these long-dead writers. Why Read Classics? The Socrates I’m now reading was written 2,350 years ago, more or less. If anything written today is still available at the bookshops (or whatever they have then) in the year 4353, chances are it will be worth reading. Now in fact not all this long-lived stuff is good, but most of it is, assuming of course a basic level of interest in the original roots of the culture we all live in. Even without such interest, in some cases the stories stand on their own. For example... Anabasis!

If you want to translate this page go here. Translate and enter this URL in the Alta Vista blank. The Xenophon Group International was organized to promote the study of military history. We began by publishing a magazine devoted to Early Modern Military History, of which copies are available. In 1991 we expanded our focus to facilitate meetings and exchanges between Americans, Ukrainians and Russians, especially but not exclusively military historians. We have organized a number of successful visits and conferences in Russia and Ukraine. This page serves as a central link to topical pages relating to these subjects. For convenience the material is divided into two categories, general Military History and Russian-Ukrainian History, but much of the latter is also about military affairs. The content of our multiple web sites has expanded so much we provide here a new alphabetical listing all the various topics and a siteplan . It is being revised at present INDEX Please download this index file periodically to keep current with new changes. In the index are links to descriptions of some of our products including previously published articles and historical materials developed during these visits. There are many links to medieval fortresses and to Crimea We continue to revise and expand the text and photography of St.
