In 401 B.C., a thundering army of mercenaries, camp followers, dreamers, and glory seekers set off to help a rebellious foreign general named Cyrus. In the months that followed, ten thousand men - trained and hardened in three decades of war in Greece - would engage in pitched battles, witness untold horrors, and begin a desperate march across the desert, over raging rivers, and into the jaws of hell itself. By the time it was over, some would be alive, others dead, and one among them would emerge as the greatest hero of all... In a novel of high adventure and riveting historical drama, Michael Curtis Ford brings to life an amazing true story from Greek antiquity - Xenophon's march of the Ten Thousand.383p, Remainder mark else as new.

Very light bumping to bottom corners else Fine. ; 236 pages; In this book Professor Kronenberg shows that Xenophon's Oeconomicus, Varro's De Re Rustica and Virgil's Georgics are not simply works on farming but belong to a tradition of philosophical satire which uses allegory and irony to question the meaning of morality. These works metaphorically connect farming and its related arts to political life; but instead of presenting farming in its traditional guise as a positive symbol, they use it to model the deficiencies of the active life, which in turn is juxtaposed to a preferred contemplative way of life. Although these three texts are not usually treated together, this book convincingly connects them with an original and provocative interpretation of their allegorical use of farming. It also fills an important gap in our understanding of the literary influences on the Georgics by showing that it is shaped not just by its poetic predecessors but by philosophical dialogue.

Some foxing to textblock. Rubbing to wraps. Creasing to spine. ; Contains: Aristotle's The Constitution of Athens; Xenophon's The Politeia of the Spartans; The Constitution of the Athenians ascribed to Xenophon the Orator; The Boeotian Constitution from the Oxyrhynchus Historian; 320 pages; <DIV>Three treatises survive from classical Greece under the loose title <i>Politeiai</i> (Constitutions) which are unique in character and indispensable to any student of the period. The longest and most important is Aristotle's <i>Constitution of Athens</i> which is both a history of Athenian constitutional development and a survey of the constitutional machinery of Aristotle's own day.<br>The second, by Xenophon, is an account of the Spartan social and educational system, and the third, also attributed to Xenophon, <i>The Constitution of the Athenians,</i> though probably by an earlier author, is the first example in history of political pamphleteering.<br>Dr. Moore has newly translated all three of these documents and an additional fragment <i>The Boeotian Constitution</i> written in the fourth century B. C. and the only surviving account of a genuinely oligarchic regime of the period.<br>To these much needed, scholarly translations Dr. Moore has added brilliant introductions and commentaries which evaluate the documents, illumine their significance, and provide the background information which the writers assumed their readers to possess.<br>In bringing together, translating, and annotating these constitutional documents from ancient Greece, Dr. Moore has produced an authoritative work of the highest scholarship which will place all students of constitutional history and of the Ancient World in his debt.</div>
