An Apologia of Xenophon

"Anabasis" is an explanation of Xenophon's Cyrus and Greek parade exploration. The Greek title of Xenophon's work "Anabasis" refers to a parade country that is far away from the coast. This title applies only to the first of the seven books. All this ended with the death of Cyrus in the Battle of Kuksana. Greek mercenary soldiers are trapped in the world of 'barbarians'. The rest of the book covers the story of Greeks' discipline, leadership and courage on their way home.

I recently read Xerox 's Cyrus the Great: first - class art and war. Xenophon is an ancient Greek historian and hero who wrote his epic "Cyrus the Great" according to the verbal history that Socrates and Plato handed to him. I was surprised that many of the courses Xenophon recorded from Cyrus the Great are still valuable in today's world. It seems like common sense, but amazingly, ambitious leaders often forget this fact. Attracting the interests of your followers - what they bring is a reliable way to motivate them. If people think that you are acting for your own interests, they will trust and follow you as their leader. When they feel that you are not acting for your own interests, you lose trust and they leave you.

During the centuries after Cyrus the Great's birth, Xenophon wrote his work. In introducing his work, Xenophon accomplishes universal peace and stability by understanding the power and universal mercy of mankind as a means to persuade each country to sign the freedom of governance It raised the question of whether. They think "the benefits for you are more careful than yourself". Although Xenophon's works may seem historical or biographical, there are good reasons not to use it as a historical work. As an obvious example, Asians frequently swear by Greek gods, but sometimes they are sworn by Asian gods, suggesting that Xenophon has complete control over his story. Likewise, the Persian's initial regime seemed as dubious as Xenophon's explanation of the Spartan regime. These reasons explain why some scholars explain it as political "fiction", not history, biography, or thesis.

Xenophon raised fundamental questions from the beginning. How do humans rule other people without revolution? Xenophon believed that he could not solve the problem of political stability at first, but believing that rethinking the life of Cyrus changed his mind and not just being able to rule humanity. . Cyrus's life brought this change to Xenophon's thought - indeed, his intentions and goals all dominated because Cyrus dominated not only the Persians but also many countries and cities - knowledge The world therefore Cyrus was not only a successful king of Persia but also a successful emperor He discovered an independent and independent government and brought a constant war and a constantly changing alliance. The whole guarantees the peace of Asia. Then Cyrus's education is not only to learn how to rule his own people, but to change that rule into the greatest case - control of everyone
