This Companion, the first dedicated to the philosopher and
historian Xenophon of Athens, gives readers a sense of why he has
held such a prominent place in literary and political culture from
antiquity to the present and has been a favourite author of
individuals as diverse as Machiavelli, Thomas Jefferson, and Leo
Tolstoy. It also sets out the major problems and issues that are at
stake in the study of his writings, while simultaneously pointing
the way forward to newer methodologies, issues, and questions.
Although Xenophon's historical, philosophical, and technical works
are usually studied in isolation because they belong to different
modern genres, the emphasis here is on themes that cut across his
large and varied body of writings. This volume is accessible to
students and general readers, including those previously unfamiliar
with Xenophon, and will also be of interest to scholars in various
fields.
