This volume examines the issue of violence in Xenophon's works, who
lived in circumstances of war for many years. All the papers
address issues of violence from different aspects. The exclusive
focus on this issue is justified, since no previous detailed study
exists on the subject. Most of the chapters focus on the Hellenica,
because this work records more aspects of violence than the rest of
his works. The volume is more concerned with examining violence in
practice rather than the theory of violence, and violent practices
are more frequently recorded in the Hellenica, which is the main
historical work of Xenophon.This volume attempts to provide a
comprehensive study of the subject of violence in Xenophon's works
and to demonstrate the coherence and consistency of his thought on
it. This work aspires to be a contribution to classical scholarship
since it attempts to: (1) shed further light on the literary
character of Xenophon's oeuvre; (2) offer new interpretation of
passages and themes; and (3) put emphasis on passages that scholars
have not pointed out and which offer important insights to the
thought of Xenophon.
