Xenophon (ca. 430 to ca. 354 BCE), a member of a wealthy but
politically quietist Athenian family and an admirer of Socrates,
left Athens in 401 BCE to serve as a mercenary commander for Cyrus
the Younger of Persia, then joined the staff of King Agesilaus II
of Sparta before settling in Elis and, in the aftermath of the
battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE, retiring to Corinth. His historical
and biographical works, Socratic dialogues and reminiscences, and
short treatises on hunting, horsemanship, economics, and the
Spartan constitution are richly informative about his own life and
times. This volume collects Xenophon's portrayals of his associate,
Socrates. In Memorabilia (or Memoirs of Socrates) and in
Oeconomicus, a dialogue about household management, we see the
philosopher through Xenophon's eyes. Here, as in the accompanying
Symposium, we also obtain insight on life in Athens. The volume
concludes with Xenophon's Apology, an interesting complement to
Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial.
