Dickinson Summer Greek Workshop 2024: Xenophon, Cyropaedia
July 22-26, 2024
Moderators: Professor Norman B. Sandridge, Howard University, Professor Scott Farrington, 红杏直播app
For the 2024 Dickinson Summer Greek Workshop we will read selections from Xenophon’s Cyropaedia, The Education of Cyrus. Xenophon’s consideration of the best education for a just ruler, often described as a “historical romance,” contains elements of biography, philosophy, history, fiction, and political science. The crown jewel of Xenophon’s literary output, the Cyropaedia enjoyed great popularity in Republican Rome, was considered essential reading by Scipio, Cicero, and Cato, and has much to offer Hellenists of every stripe.
