About the Book

Cyropaedia, also known as The Education of Cyrus, is a historical and philosophical novel written by the ancient Greek author Xenophon. The book is a fictionalized account of the life of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, who ruled Persia from 559 to 530 BCE. The novel is divided into eight books, each detailing a different aspect of Cyrus's life, from his childhood and education to his military conquests and political leadership. Throughout the book, Xenophon explores themes of leadership, morality, and the nature of power. One of the key themes of the book is the idea of the ideal ruler, with Cyrus being presented as a model leader who embodies virtues such as wisdom, justice, and courage. Xenophon also explores the relationship between rulers and their subjects, emphasizing the importance of treating people with respect and kindness. In addition to its philosophical and historical content, Cyropaedia is also notable for its literary style. The book is written in a simple, straightforward prose that is intended to be accessible to a wide audience. Overall, Cyropaedia is a fascinating and thought-provoking work that offers valuable insights into ancient Persian culture and the nature of leadership. It remains a popular and influential work to this day, and is considered one of the most important works of ancient Greek literature.""So you think, Cyrus, that the beauty of any human creature can compel a man to do wrong against his will? Surely if that were the nature of beauty, all men would feel its force alike. [10] See how fire burns all men equally; it is the nature of it so to do; but these flowers of beauty, one man loves them, and another loves them not, nor does every man love the same. For love is voluntary, and each man loves what he chooses to love.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
