Product Description

Written in the early fourth century BCE by a gentleman and soldier from Athens, "Cyropaedia" is an account of Cyrus the Great that escapes a simple genre placement. It is a sort of historical, political, biographical, fictional romance, encapsulating the sweeping type of narrative characteristic of Xenophon's works. The overall portrait of Cyrus is artistic, offering glimpses of this huge figure's character. Organized into eight books, the entire life of Cyrus the Great is told, from his descent and education to his stay in the Median court, and eventually his own kingship and monarchical views. Considered an important piece of literature by many historical figures, from Edmund Spenser to the Founding Fathers, "Cyropaedia" is an ancient text that contains a timeless relevance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Education of Cyrus, July 30 2010

By David J. Marshall Jr. "David Marshall" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Cyropaedia: The Education of Cyrus (Paperback)

Book in excellent shape, arrived quickly, great price. Don't know what else there is.

The book itself is a translation. Must have been made in the 19th century. English is a bit on the flowery side, but fairly accurate withal.
