Book Name: Xenophon

Writer: Thomas L. Pangle

One must be intrigued by Cyrus’ phenomenal triumphs and by the

remarkable character who appears to merit them. Cyrus walks starting

with one triumph then onto the next, and, no less significant, he appears to

endeavors at magnification (7.2.23-24), and numerous events on which a

country’s riches are accumulated or squan­dered by its rulers instead of
