Opis

Challenges the long-held view that Xenophon is pro-Spartan, arguing that his stance is, rather, critical and philosophical.

Recenzje

'With this thoroughly researched, well-documented, and generally well-reasoned project, centered upon a close reading of the Constitution of the Lacedaemonians, Humble makes a compelling case for her main thesis and a valuable contribution to Xenophon scholarship.' Lorraine Pangle, Polis, The Journal for Ancient Greek and Roman Political Thought
