Book Synopsis Xenophon: Ethical Principles and Historical Enquiry by : Christopher Tuplin
Download or read book Xenophon: Ethical Principles and Historical Enquiry written by Christopher Tuplin. This book was released on 2012-08-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Recent Xenophontic scholarship has established the general truth of these claims. The current volume will not only reinforce them but also contribute to greater understanding of a voice that is neither simply ironic nor simply ingenuous and of a view of the world that is informed by an engagement with history.
