Xenophon gilt als einer der großen Geschichtsschreiber des Klassischen Griechenlands (Anabasis, Hellenika). Vor allem als Schulautor bekannt, erfreut er sich aufgrund der Vielschichtigkeit seiner Werke jedoch auch darüber hinaus steigenden Interesses. In diesem Band der Reihe Tusculum werden vier seiner kleineren Schriften vorgestellt. Die Verfassung der Lakedaimonier beleuchtet das Funktionieren des spartanischen Staates und bildet die wichtigste Quelle zum antiken Sparta. Ergänzt wird sie um die Biographie des Agesilaos, der Sparta in einem zentralen Zeitraum seiner Geschichte (399-359 v. Chr.) als König regierte.Mit dem Wesen und auch mit der Abschaffung der Tyrannis beschäftigt sich der Hieron, ein fiktives Gespräch zwischen dem Dichter Simonides und dem sizilischem Alleinherrscher Hieron. Die Poroi (Einkünfte) handeln schließlich von den Möglichkeiten Athens, die ärmere Bevölkerung in Friedenszeiten durch Erschließung der eigenen Ressourcen ohne Expansion zu ernähren. Sie ist die bedeutendste antike Schrift zu Problemen der Staatswirtschaft.Drei der vier Übersetzungen sind nur in dieser Ausgabe erhältlich.

Xenophons »Hellenika« gelten als eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die letzten Jahre des peloponnesischen Kriegs bis zum Ende der Vorherrschaft Thebens in Griechenland. Als direkte Fortsetzung des Werks von Thukydides schildern die Hellenika die Geschichte Griechenlands von 411 bis 362 v. Chr. Damit etablierte Xenophon die antike Tradition der fortgesetzten Geschichtsschreibung, wie sie bis zum Ende der Spätantike Bestand haben sollte. Zugleich ist das Buch über seine zentrale historische Bedeutung hinaus beispielhaft für das attische Griechisch und somit für die stilistische Tradition der antiken Geschichtsschreibung. Besonders spannend: Viele der in seinen »Hellenika« geschilderten Ereignisse hat Xenophon selbst miterlebt.

Mit einer Anschaulichkeit, die in der antiken Literatur ihresgleichen sucht, schildert Xenophon den abenteuerlichen Putschversuch des jungen persischen Prinzen Kyros gegen seinen Bruder, den Großkönig Artaxerxes II. Xenophon, selbst einer der Heerführer im Krieg 401 v. Chr., schildert packend die Vorgänge und beschreibt authentisch Land und Leute, Sitten und Bräuche. Damit legt er den Grundstein zur Memoirenliteratur: Caesars Gallischer Krieg oder Arrians Alexanderzug sind ohne Xenophon nicht denkbar.

Xenophon (431-355 BC), son of Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens, was a soldier, mercenary and an admirer of Socrates. He is known for his writings on the history of his own times, the sayings of Socrates, and the life of Greece. He participated in the expedition led by Cyrus the Younger against his older brother, the emperor Artaxerxes II of Persia, in 401 BC. His record of the entire expedition against the Persians and the journey home was titled Anabasis (The Expedition or The March Up Country). He was later exiled from Athens, most likely because he fought under the Spartan king Agesilaus against Athens at Coronea. The Spartans gave him property at Scillus, near Olympia in Elis, where he composed the Anabasis. His writings are often read by beginning students of the Greek language. His Hellenica is a major primary source for events in Greece from 411 to 362 BC, and his Socratic writings, preserved complete, are the only surviving representatives of the genre of Sokratikoi logoi other than the dialogues of Plato.

Anabasis is the most famous work of the Ancient Greek professional soldier and writer Xenophon. It narrates the expedition of a large army of Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger to help him seize the throne of Persia from his brother, Artaxerxes II, in 401 BC.The seven books making up the Anabasis were composed circa 370 BC. Though as an Ancient Greek vocabulary word, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ means "embarkation", "ascent" or "mounting up", the title Anabasis is rendered in translation as The March Up Country or as The March of the Ten Thousand. The narration of the army's journey across Asia Minor and Mesopotamia is Xenophon's best known work, and "one of the great adventures in human history".
