Publisher's Synopsis

Tales From The Cyropaedia Of Xenophon is a book originally written by Xenophon in ancient Greece, and was first published in 1894. The book is a collection of stories about the life and times of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire. It is a historical and biographical work, and is considered to be one of the most important sources of information about Cyrus and his reign.The book is divided into eight chapters, each of which tells a different story about Cyrus and his exploits. The stories cover a wide range of topics, from Cyrus' early life and rise to power, to his military campaigns and conquests, to his relationships with his family and his subjects.Throughout the book, Xenophon presents Cyrus as a wise and just ruler, who is beloved by his people and respected by his enemies. He portrays Cyrus as a man of great courage and intelligence, who is able to overcome even the most difficult challenges with ease.The book is written in a clear and concise style, and is accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient history, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most important figures of the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
