"On Tyranny" is Leo Strauss' classic reading of Xenophon's dialogue
Hiero, or Tyrannicus, in which the tyrant Hiero and the poet
Simonides discuss the advantages and disadvantages of exercising
tyranny. Included are a translation of the dialogue from its
original Greek, a critique of Strauss' commentary by the French
philosopher Alexandre Kojeve, and the complete correspondence
between the two. This corrected and expanded edition introduces
important revisions throughout and expands Strauss' restatement of
his position in light of Kojeve's commentary to bring it into
conformity with the text as it was originally published in France.
