Xenophon's many and varied works represent a major source of
information about the ancient Greek world: for example, about
culture, politics, social life and history in the fourth century
BC, Socrates, horses and hunting with dogs, the Athenian economy,
and Sparta. However, there has been controversy about how his works
should be read. This selection of significant modern critical
essays will introduce readers to the wide range of his writing, the
debates it has inspired, and the interpretative methodologies that
have been used. A specially written Introduction by Vivienne J.
Gray offers a survey of Xenophon's works, an account of his life
with respect to them, a brief discussion of modern readings,
reference to modern scholarship since the original publication of
the articles, and a critical summary of their content. Several
articles have been translated for the first time from French and
German, and all quotations have been translated into English.
