書籍簡介

色諾芬(約公元前430年至公元前354年)是一位富有的雅典人，也是蘇格拉底的朋友。他於401年離開雅典，參加了一支由波斯總督居魯士率領的一萬希臘人組成的遠征隊，對抗波斯國王。居魯士戰敗後，由色諾芬帶領希臘人從巴比倫城門穿過荒涼的土地回到海岸。後來，他寫了著名的“向內地進軍”(Anabasis)的生動描述;但與此同時，他在斯巴達人手下服役，對抗波斯國王，並幸福地結了婚，成為斯巴達國王阿格西勞斯的侍從。但是雅典在394年與斯巴達開戰，所以流放了色諾芬。斯巴達人在埃利斯附近給了他一塊土地，他在那裏生活了多年，寫作、打獵，並教育他的兒子們。與斯巴達和解後，雅典恢復了對色諾芬的尊敬，但他寧願退到科林斯。

色諾芬的《Anabasis》是一個關於非凡冒險的真實故事。《希臘歷史》是一部關於希臘事務的歷史，從公元411年到362年，它是修昔底德著作的延續。有四部關於蘇格拉底的著作(收錄在勒布色諾芬版第四卷)。在《紀念品》中，色諾芬從不同的角度為柏拉圖的蘇格拉底畫像添彩。《蘇格拉底辯白》是對柏拉圖關於蘇格拉底審判時辯護的有趣補充。色諾芬的《會飲篇》描繪了一場晚宴，蘇格拉底在宴會上談論愛情;Oeconomicus請他為家庭管理和婚姻生活提供建議。《居魯士教育》是一部關於居魯士教育的歷史小説，反映了色諾芬關於統治者和政府的思想;勒布版分為兩卷。

我們還有他的耶羅，一個關於政府的對話;阿格西勞斯，讚美那位國王;斯巴達制度的憲法;方法和手段(關於雅典的財政);騎兵指揮官手冊;一本好的馬術手冊;還有一場充滿獵犬的狩獵。《雅典人的憲法》，雖然不是色諾芬寫的，但卻是一份關於雅典政治的有趣文件。這八本書收錄在色諾芬的勒布經典圖書館版七卷中的最後一卷。

Xenophon (ca. 430 to ca. 354 BCE) was a wealthy Athenian and friend of Socrates. He left Athens in 401 and joined an expedition including ten thousand Greeks led by the Persian governor Cyrus against the Persian king. After the defeat of Cyrus, it fell to Xenophon to lead the Greeks from the gates of Babylon back to the coast through inhospitable lands. Later he wrote the famous vivid account of this 'March Up-Country' (Anabasis); but meanwhile he entered service under the Spartans against the Persian king, married happily, and joined the staff of the Spartan king, Agesilaus. But Athens was at war with Sparta in 394 and so exiled Xenophon. The Spartans gave him an estate near Elis where he lived for years writing and hunting and educating his sons. Reconciled to Sparta, Athens restored Xenophon to honour but he preferred to retire to Corinth.

Xenophon's Anabasis is a true story of remarkable adventures. Hellenica, a history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362, begins as a continuation of Thucydides' account. There are four works on Socrates (collected in Volume IV of the Loeb Xenophon edition). In Memorabilia Xenophon adds to Plato's picture of Socrates from a different viewpoint. The Apology is an interesting complement to Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial. Xenophon's Symposium portrays a dinner party at which Socrates speaks of love; and Oeconomicus has him giving advice on household management and married life. Cyropaedia, a historical romance on the education of Cyrus (the Elder), reflects Xenophon's ideas about rulers and government; the Loeb edition is in two volumes.

We also have his Hiero, a dialogue on government; Agesilaus, in praise of that king; Constitution of Lacedaemon (on the Spartan system); Ways and Means (on the finances of Athens); Manual for a Cavalry Commander; a good manual of Horsemanship; and a lively Hunting with Hounds. The Constitution of the Athenians, though clearly not by Xenophon, is an interesting document on politics at Athens. These eight books are collected in the last of the seven volumes of the Loeb Classical Library edition of Xenophon.
