[Cyropaedia by Xenophon]@TWC D-Link bookCyropaedia BOOK III 37/43
Hellenic = Oriental, also in part perhaps.
Also, we know the Oriental through the medium of Greek to a great extent (cf.
Greek Testament, and earlier still LXX.). C1.8, init.Cf.Joseph and his brethren for this hardening of his heart. C1.11.Hellenic political ethics = modern in this matter, apart from modern theory of nationalism, i.e.right of nations to exist free. C1.12.Quite after the manner of an advocate in a Greek law-court, but also Oriental (cf.
David and Nathan the seer). C1.24.Fear of exile; autobiographical touch? Is anything passing through the mind of Xenophon? I dare say there is.
[Xenophon was banished from his native city of Athens because of his friendship with Sparta and with Cyrus the Younger.
