Autoren-Porträt von Xenophon
Xenophon (c. 430 - 354 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher, historian, soldier, mercenary, and a disciple of Socrates. As a younger contemporary of Socrates, Plato, and Thucydides, he is often recognized for his writings on the history of his own times, the sayings of Socrates, and the life of Greece. Xenophon's work titled 'The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates' is an important Socratic work, providing a valuable complement to Plato's philosophical dialogues on Socrates. In this work, as in 'Anabasis', 'Cyropaedia', and 'Hellenica', Xenophon showcases his clear narrative style and pragmatic approach to historical writing, focusing on practical lessons and ethical insights rather than pure philosophy. His literary style is accessible and straightforward, characterized by simplicity and a fondness for anecdote that indicates his predilections as more of a historian than a philosopher. Xenophon's contributions to the historical recording of Socratic thought and his firsthand accounts of the politics and military affairs of ancient Greece have secured his place as a significant figure in the annals of Western literature and historiography.
