书籍简介

色诺芬（前440年左右－前355年）是一个富有的雅典人，也是苏格拉底的朋友。他于401年离开雅典，参加了一支由波斯总督居鲁士率领的一万希腊人组成的远征队，对抗波斯国王。居鲁士战败后，由色诺芬带领希腊人从巴比伦城门穿过荒凉的土地回到海岸。后来，他生动地记述了这部著名的《万人远征记》。但与此同时，他在斯巴达人手下服役，对抗波斯国王，并幸福地结了婚，成为斯巴达国王阿格西劳斯的侍从。但是雅典在394年与斯巴达开战，所以流放了色诺芬。斯巴达人在埃利斯附近给了他一块土地，他在那里生活了多年，写作、打猎，并教育他的儿子们。与斯巴达和解后，雅典恢复了对色诺芬的尊敬，但他宁愿退到科林斯。

洛布古典丛书收录了色诺芬的七卷书：

《希腊史》（两卷），记述了从公元411年到362年的希腊事史，是修昔底德记述的延续。

卷三包含《万人远征记》，一个关于非凡冒险的真实故事。

卷四收录了四部关于苏格拉底的著作。在《回忆苏格拉底》中，色诺芬从另一个角度为柏拉图对苏格拉底的描述增添了新的色彩。《经济论》请他就家庭管理和婚姻生活提供建议。《会饮篇》描绘了一场晚宴，苏格拉底在宴会上谈论爱情。《苏格拉底的申辩》是对柏拉图关于苏格拉底审判时辩护的有趣补充。

卷五和卷六包含《居鲁士的教育》，一个关于居鲁士教育的历史传奇，反映了色诺芬关于统治者和政府的思想。

卷七包含《希耶罗》、《阿格西劳》、《斯巴达政体论》、《财源论》、《论骑兵指挥官》、《骑术》、《狩猎论》。《雅典人的宪法》，虽然不是色诺芬写的，但却是一份关于雅典政治的有趣文件。

Xenophon (ca. 430–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 honor, but he preferred to retire to Corinth.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Xenophon is comprised of seven volumes:

Hellenica (in two volumes), a history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362, begins as a continuation of Thucydides’s account.

Volume III contains Anabasis, a true story of remarkable adventures.

Volume IV of the Loeb Xenophon edition collects four works on Socrates. In Memorabilia Xenophon adds to Plato’s picture of Socrates from a different viewpoint. Oeconomicus has him giving advice on household management and married life. Xenophon’s Symposium portrays a dinner party at which Socrates speaks of love; and his Apology is an interesting complement to Plato’s account of Socrates’s defense at his trial.

Volumes V and VI contain the Cyropaedia, a historical romance on the education of Cyrus (the Elder), reflects Xenophon’s ideas about rulers and government.

Volume VII collects 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.
