Dustjacket has minor edgewear with 1 tiny tear.; 1.26 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 352 pages; With an examination into Xenophon's longer historical works the "Hellenica" and the "Anabasis" Dillery considers how far these texts reflect the Greek intellectual world of the fourth and fifth centuries B. C. rather than focusing on the traditional question of how accurate they are as histories. Through the analysis of the complete corpus of Xenophon's work and the writings of his contemporaries Xenophon is shown to be very much a man of his times concerned with topical issues ranging from panhellenism and utopia to how far the gods controlled human history. . 041509139X .
