Although he was recognized as a great writer and poet in his lifetime, Xenophon’s involvement with Spartan politics and fighting led to his exile from Athens, and his association with Socrates probably did not help. His short treatise on Sparta’s government is considered one of the first examples of political philosophy.  The Economist records Socrates and Critobulus in a discussion about estate and household management.  A good “economist” would manage and administer a house or an estate in a profitable manner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXenophon is best remembered for his writing. In addition to writing about the philosophy of Socrates, he also wrote about the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, as well as the Persian expedition that formed the basis of his most famous work, Anabasis. In addition to his own works, he influenced the account of the Peloponnesian War written by the famous Greek historian Thucydides. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of Xenophon’s The Essential Collection includes pictures of Xenophon and other famous Greek philosophers, as well as a Table of Contents.","brand":"Charles River Editors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179950555376,"sku":"2940013689589","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013689589_p0.jpg?v=1763584552","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013689589","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
