Xenophon's Mirror of Princes: Reading the Reflections

Vivienne J. Gray

4.9/5 (27699 ratings)

Description:Xenophon is perhaps best known as the leader of the 10,000 on the Anabasis, the famous march of the Greek army thru hostile territory to the Black Sea. However, he was also a prolific author, & in this study Vivienne J. Gray focuses upon the ways in which his literary practices shape images of leadership in his narrative works. She surveys the views on leadership that Xenophon credits to Socrates, & illustrates in detail his construction of leadership models thru the close examination of selected narratives in works such as Anabasis & Cyropaedia. The techniques include the creation of patterned narratives, as well as allusions to the writings of Homer & Herodotus. Gray takes issue with the school of thought that finds hidden subversion beneath Xenophon's surface praise of leaders.AbbreviationsIntroductionMirror of princes or flaws in the glass? general remarksExplicit authorial evaluations in historical writing Xenophon's adaptations of his literary predecessors: Homer, Herodotus & othersXenophon's patterned narratives of leadershipReadings of Cyropaedia The dynamics of friendship Xenophon's Socratic & other ironiesConclusionBibliographyIndex LecorumIndex NominumTopic IndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
