He wrote two of the texts included in this volume, the Hiero (On Tyranny) and the Constitution of the Spartans. The third, the Constitution of the Athenians, is found under Xenophon's name alongside the other two in the manuscripts. The works represent three distinct types of government (the rule of one man in tyranny and kingship, the rule of law in the mixed constitution of the Spartans, and the rule of the masses in the Athenian democracy), but there are common features throughout. This volume presents an introduction discussing Xenophon's views on government in the context of his general political thought, drawing particularly on his Socratic work Memorabilia, and a commentary on the Greek text of each work aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and graduate students.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGeneral introduction\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Hiero\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Respublica Lacedaemoniorum (Lac.)\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Respublica Atheniensium (Ath.)\u003cbr\u003e Hiero\u003cbr\u003e Respublica Lacedaemoniorum\u003cbr\u003e Respublica Atheniensium\u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Western philosophy: Ancient, to c 500 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Western philosophy: Ancient, to c 500\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Western%20philosophy:%20Ancient,%20to%20c%20500%20%5BHPCA%5D%22\"\u003eHPCA\u003c\/a\u003e], Ancient history: to c 500 CE [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Ancient history: to c 500 CE\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Ancient%20history:%20to%20c%20500%20CE%20%5BHBLA%5D%22\"\u003eHBLA\u003c\/a\u003e], General \u0026amp; world history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on General \u0026amp; world history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22General%20\u0026amp;%20world%20history%20%5BHBG%5D%22\"\u003eHBG\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20classical,%20early%20\u0026amp;%20medieval%20%5BDSBB%5D%22\"\u003eDSBB\u003c\/a\u003e], History of art: ancient \u0026amp; classical art,BCE to c 500 CE [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of art: ancient \u0026amp; classical art,BCE to c 500 CE\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20art:%20ancient%20\u0026amp;%20classical%20art,BCE%20to%20c%20500%20CE%20%5BACG%5D%22\"\u003eACG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45908906311960,"sku":"9780521588591","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521588591i_177bcf66-c76b-4081-a17c-a285b11ae7d2.jpg?v=1691370127","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/xenophon-on-government-paperback-9780521588591","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
