Topic: Memorabilia (Xenophon)

	Xenophon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Xenophon's query to the oracle, however, was not whether or not to accept Cyrus' invitation, but "to which of the gods he must pray and do sacrifice, so that he might best accomplish his intended journey and return in safety, with good fortune." So the oracle told him which gods to pray and sacrifice to.
		Xenophon’s historical account in the Anabasis is one of the first written accounts of an analysis of the character traits of a leader.
		Xenophon is often cited as being the original "horse whisperer", having advocated sympathetic horsemanship in his "On Horsemanship".

	Malaspina Great Books - Xenophon (444 BCE)
		Xenophon, whose name literally means "strange sound," was an Athenian knight, an associate of Socrates, who is known for his chronicles of a mercenary expedition against Persia and the subsequent history of Greece.
		Xenophon became the leading spirit of the army; he was elected an officer, and he it was who mainly directed the retreat.
		Xenophon, like Caesar, tells the story in the third person, and there is a straightforward manliness about the style, with a distinct flavour of a cheerful lightheartedness, which at once enlists our sympathies.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1998.12.08
		Xenophon quite closely resembles a familiar British figure -- the retired general, staunch Tory and Anglican, firm defender of the Establishment in Church and State, and at the same time a reflective man with ambitions to write edifying literature (American Xenophons do not seem to be so common).
		For Gray, the Memorabilia is a highly rhetorical attempt to refute the charges against Socrates both by repeated rehearsal of his 'usefulness' to society, and by producing a biographical portrait whose elements are designed to persuade and attract, rather than repel through alienating irony.
		The figure of Xenophon that emerges is of a skilled and committed polemicist, manipulating his material for specific and bold rhetorical effect, powerfully contributing to the politics of authority and knowledge in the classical polis.

	Xenophon [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Proxenus, a friend of Xenophon, was already with Cyrus, and he invited Xenophon to come to Sardis, and promised to introduce him to the Persian prince.
		Xenophon, who was very poor, mad an expedition into the plain of the Caicus with his troops before they joined Thimbrou, to plunder the house and property of a Persian named Asidates.
		Xenophon continues, though, maintaining that Socrates was not unversed in mathematical and astronomical subjects.

	Memorabilia (Xenophon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Memorabilia are also known by the Greek title Apomnemoneumata, the alternate (and more accurate) Latin translation Commentarii, and a variety of English translations (Recollections, Memoirs, etc.).
		The lengthiest and most famous of Xenophon's Socratic writings, the Memorabilia is a more serious apologia (defense) of Socrates than either Xenophon's Apology or Plato's Apology.
		The first few chapters give responses to the charges against Socrates made in the Kategoria of Polycrates the sophist, and the rest of the work consists of short episodes of Socrates conversing with friends, rival teachers, and notable Greeks, with a few narrative remarks on Socrates' teachings.

		Xenophon was born in Attica into a land-owning family of moderate oligarchs.
		Xenophon's elegant style, clear and straightforward, sometimes rhetorical, is much admired, but at the same time he has not been regarded as a thinker.

		Xenophon does not say as much, and in fact says nothing like it, but his arrangement of episodes is thought to.
		Xenophon makes no later theme of the internal oppression, though modern historians take it to be a factor in the decline of Sparta.
		Xenophon frequently uses other plainer modes of narrative, so that the question of why he chose the form is of interest, and while story patterns may not completely distort the truth, their implications need to be faced.

	Johnson: Socrates v. Aristippus, Round Two: Memorabilia 3.8
		The second is Xenophon's decision to couple Socrates' rather abstract conversation with Aristippus about the good and the beautiful with Socrates' rather concrete discussion, now with unnamed interlocutors, about domestic architecture and the proper placement of temples and altars.
		Xenophon then describes how Socrates used to argue, with anonymous interlocutors, that the same houses were fine and useful.
		But Xenophon's varied examples of pleasure show how complicated pleasure is: we are pleased by heat and by cold, by worshipping an altar from afar and by reverently approaching it.

		Xenophon is not thought to have been philosopher enough to have understood Socrates well or to have captured the depth of his views and his personality.
		Plato and Xenophon both represent Socrates as strongly attracted to good-looking young men in the 'bloom' of their middle to late teens, just the period when they were also coming of age morally and intellectually.
		Xenophon emphasizes Socrates' freedom from the strong appetites for food, drink, sex and physical comfort that dominate other people; his enkrateia or self-mastery is the first of the virtues that Xenophon claims for him (Memorabilia I 2.1).

		This new translation of Xenophon does indeed provide something that all the other translations do not: it is a current and faithful English translation supplemented by introductory text and extensive notes which serves well its intended audience -- primarily scholars outside of the field of classical studies who possess little to no Greek.
		Nearly 400 notes fill this section which will be of benefit to a wide audience: for those who know Greek, Bonnette clarifies and justifies her translations by providing the original Greek (transliterated) and their corresponding dictionary definitions; and for those unfamiliar with all the particulars of Greek antiquity, Bonnette provides copious encyclopedic data.
		The work should, however, be added to college and research libraries for the use and enjoyment of all, for if, as is implicit in the text, the intention of Bonnette is to make Xenophon's Memorabilia more accessible to a larger audience, then she certainly has succeeded.

	Socrates (469-399 BC)
		Xenophon composed the Memorabilia over many years, beginning only some ten years after Socrates' death, avowedly in order to defend Socrates' reputation as a good man, a true Athenian gentleman, and a good influence upon his young men.
		In Xenophon, Socrates is also sometimes ironical and playful, especially in the Symposium, but his conversation is usually direct, even didactic, and often chummy in tone; his attitudes are for the most part conventional though earnest; and there is nothing to unsettle anyone or make them suspect hidden depths.
		In Xenophon he describes his love as love for their souls, not their bodies, and he vigorously condemns sexual relations with any young man: using him that way disgraces him and harms him by encouraging a loose attitude as regards physical pleasures Symposium 8).

	Socrates and Theodote: Memorabilia 3
		But Xenophon, a man of the world, meant the passage to be humorous (Breitenbach, RE) in a way more characteristic of his Symposium (see Huss, Symposium commentary and in AJP 1999).
		Xenophon clearly enough shows that many questioned Socrates’ willingness to reveal himself by saying that Socrates did not hide what he thought (Mem.
		Thus Xenophon’s Socrates, who is so often thought to be the essence of banality, may have more to him than meets the eye.

	Xenophon on Law and Violence
		The Greek philosopher Xenophon, pupil of Socrates, was certainly no libertarian; but his writings contain a number of delightful passages pointing in a libertarian direction.
		In his Memorabilia, or Recollections of Socrates, Xenophon reports what scholars generally agree is his own invented conversation between the complacent democratic politician Pericles and his youthful ward Alcibiades.
		Xenophon returns to the subject of lawfulness versus violence in The Education of Cyrus, arguably the first historical novel, which presents a fictionalised account of the upbringing of the young Persian prince who will grow up to be Cyrus the Great.

	Abstracts
		Most of Xenophon's Cyropaedia ("The Education of Cyrus") seems to be meant as a positive account of the founder of the Persian empire in the 6th century BC.
		I argue that Xenophon means us to read the Memorabilia passage with this conflict in mind, and to recognize that for Socrates unwritten, divine law is a surer guide to justice than is positive law.
		But as Xenophon is eager to defend Socrates against the attacks made by Athenian democrats, he leaves this point implicit beneath Socrates' overt praise of the laws of Athens.

	The Trial of Socrates

		Xenophon omitted the last four lines of the speech made by Odysseus as he struck and reviled the common soldiers.
		When Xenophon discusses the charge that Socrates used certain passage from Homer and other poets to teach his pupils to be lawbreakers and tyrannical, he had to be referring to teachings which continued after the restoration of the democracy.

	Diogenes Laertius Lives of the Philosophers: Xenophon, translated by C.D. Yonge
		BY DIOGENES LAERTIUS, TRANSLATED BY C.D. XENOPHON, the son of Gryllus, a citizen of Athens, was of the borough of Erchia; and he was a man of great modesty, and as handsome as can be imagined.
		And Xenophon did so, and went to the God; but the question he put was, not whether it was good for him to go to Cyrus or not, but how he should go; for which Socrates blamed him, but still advised him to go.
		And after the battle, they say that Xenophon offered sacrifice, wearing a crown on his head; but when the news of the death of his son arrived, he took off the crown; but after that, hearing that he had fallen gloriously, he put the crown on again.

	Olin Center, Nadon, Xenophon and Politics
		In the Memorabilia Xenophon's Socrates arues for the inescapability of politics, understood as requiring a painful mastery of the passions, in the course of a conversation he initiates with Aristippus, one prompted by the observation that this companion was too undisciplined with regard to lust, sleep, cold, heat and toil.
		Commentators frequently claim that "Xenophon insists on the character of absolute obligation which is attached to the principle of obedience to law."4 And they rely not only on these ambiguous passages from the Cyropaedia but cite instances from the Memorabilia where Xenophon's Socrates endorses this view.
		But precisely the apologetic character of the Memorabilia casts doubts on its ultimate authority: the most persuasive or effective speech is by no means always the truest.5 As we've seen from the Cyropaedia, Xenophon is aware of powerful objections to such a simplistic understanding of the relation between justice and the law.

	Episteme and Techne
		Xenophon's only sustained discussions of epistêmê and technê are in two of his Socratic works, Memorabilia and Oeconomicus.
		The Memorabilia recounts conversations which Socrates held on a variety of topics; the Oeconomicus is a conversation largely devoted to one, i.e., the art of running a successful estate and household.
		In fact, towards the end of the work, Xenophon says that Socrates held that the study of geometry should be pursued to the point where one could measure a parcel of land he meant to buy; study of more complicated figures he disparaged because he did not see the use of it (IV.vii.3).
