His historical and biographical works, Socratic dialogues and reminiscences, and short treatises on hunting, horsemanship, economics, and the Spartan constitution are richly informative about his own life and times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume collects Xenophon's portrayals of his associate, Socrates. In \u003ci\u003eMemorabilia\u003c\/i\u003e (or \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of Socrates\u003c\/i\u003e) and in \u003ci\u003eOeconomicus\u003c\/i\u003e, a dialogue about household management, we see the philosopher through Xenophon's eyes. Here, as in the accompanying \u003ci\u003eSymposium\u003c\/i\u003e, we also obtain insight on life in Athens. The volume concludes with Xenophon's \u003ci\u003eApology\u003c\/i\u003e, an interesting complement to Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xenophon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Loeb Classical Library #168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.40h x 4.60w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674996953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711314661513,"sku":"9780674996953","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a8ecc29b-cf62-4efb-9763-caae7d1de6d3.jpg?v=1719566882","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/memorabilia-oeconomicus-symposium-apology-9780674996953","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
