Cyropaedia

BOOK V
63/70

The man who utters it and the people whose heart and mind it emanates from must be of a high order; and in the _Memorabilia_ Socrates has this highest praise, that he studied to make himself and _all others also_ as good as possible.
C2.21.Notice the practical answer of Cyrus to this panegyric (cf.

J.
P.).
C2.32.Prolix, Xenophontic.
C3.6 ff.

The _Cyropaedia_ is shot with Orientalism.

Homeric Epicism--antique Hellenism and modern Hellenism are both there.
