The Complete Collection of Xenophon offers a comprehensive and illustrated edition of the most significant works by the ancient Greek historian, soldier, philosopher, and student of Socrates. This volume brings together landmark texts such as Anabasis, Cyropaedia, Hellenica, Agesilaus, Memorabilia, and others, providing a sweeping view of Xenophon's wide-ranging intellectual and historical legacy. Anabasis remains one of the most thrilling true-life adventure stories of the ancient world—Xenophon's first-hand account of leading ten thousand Greek mercenaries through hostile territory, offering not only military insight but a profound meditation on leadership, endurance, and human character. Cyropaedia presents a fictionalized biography of Cyrus the Great, blending history, political philosophy, and moral education in a highly influential work admired by thinkers from Machiavelli to Thomas Jefferson. In Hellenica, Xenophon continues the historical narrative of Thucydides, chronicling the end of the Peloponnesian War and the turbulent aftermath, while Agesilaus serves as a tribute to the Spartan king and a reflection of Xenophon's admiration for Spartan virtues. Memorabilia offers a vivid defense of Socrates, preserving dialogues and teachings that complement and contrast Plato's portrayals. Illustrated to highlight the cultural and historical richness of classical Greece, this collection serves both as a scholarly resource and an accessible introduction to Xenophon's enduring contributions. His writings blend practical experience with philosophical insight, military strategy with moral reflection. Whether read for history, philosophy, or inspiration, Xenophon's voice speaks across the centuries with clarity, discipline, and an enduring concern for the art of living well.
