书籍简介

色诺芬(约公元前430年至约公元前354年)是雅典富人，苏格拉底的朋友。他于401年离开雅典，加入了一支包括一万希腊人在内的远征军，由波斯总督居鲁士率领，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。后来他写下了著名的关于这次 "上国行军 "的生动记录（Anabasis）；但与此同时，他在斯巴达人手下服役，对抗波斯王，幸福地结了婚，并加入了斯巴达王阿格西拉乌斯的幕僚队伍。但雅典在394年与斯巴达交战，所以流放色诺芬。斯巴达人在埃利斯附近给了他一处庄园，他在那里生活了多年，写作、打猎，并教育儿子们。雅典与斯巴达和解后，恢复了色诺芬的名誉，但他更愿意到科林斯隐居。

色诺芬的《阿纳巴斯》是一个真实的故事，讲述了一个非凡的冒险。希腊尼卡》是一部411年至362年的希腊事务史，开始是修昔底德记述的延续。关于苏格拉底的著作有四部（收在罗布-色诺芬版第四卷中）。在《回忆录》中，色诺芬从不同的角度对柏拉图的苏格拉底形象进行了补充。歉意》是对柏拉图关于苏格拉底在审判中的辩护的描述的一个有趣的补充。色诺芬的《专题讨论会》描写了苏格拉底在晚宴上谈情说爱的情景；而《奥经济》则让他对家庭管理和婚姻生活提出建议。Cyropaedia》是一部关于居鲁士(长者)教育的历史罗曼史，反映了色诺芬关于统治者和政府的思想；罗布版有两卷。

我们还有他的《希罗》（Hiero），关于政府的对话；《阿格西拉乌斯》（Agesilaus），赞美这位国王；《拉塞达埃蒙宪法》（关于斯巴达制度）；《方法与手段》（关于雅典的财政）；《骑兵指挥官手册》（Manual for a Cavalry Commander）；《骑术手册》（Horsemanship）；《猎犬狩猎》（Hunting with Hounds），生动活泼。雅典人的宪法》虽然明显不是色诺芬的作品，但却是一部关于雅典政治的有趣文件。这八本书被收录在罗布古典图书馆版《色诺芬》七卷本的最后一卷中。

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.
