Book Description
Excerpt from Xenophon Cyropaedia, Books IV, V: With Introduction and Notes In quotation from Grammars the usual difficulty has been felt. It is impossible to guess what Grammar will be in the hands of those who may use this book. I have referred to Goodwin's valuable Greek Mooa's ana' Tenses, to the same scholar's Elementary Greek Grammar, to Jelf, and to Kruger. The last book exists only in German, and all references to it can therefore be serviceable only to the teacher. But I have always been careful to give a summary of what is actually said upon any point in the work quoted. As to illustrative and parallel passages, my Object has been to insert in the Notes as many as possible without overtaxing the student. Generally a translation is given of the passage cited, according to the useful practice of Mr. Goodwin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Xenophon's Cyrus the Great

Book Description
Cyrus, a great Persian leader, was so widely and memorably respected that a hundred years later, Xenophon of Athens wrote this admiring book about the greatest leader of his era. Larry Hedrick's Introduction describes Cyrus and his times. Among his many achievements, this great leader of wisdom and virtue founded and extended the Persian Empire; conquered Babylon; freed 40,000 Jews from captivity; wrote mankind's first human rights charter; and ruled over those he had conquered with respect and benevolence. According to historian Will Durant, Cyrus the Great's military enemies knew that he was lenient, and they did not fight him with that desperate courage which men show when their only choice is "to kill or die." As a result the Iranians regarded him as "The Father," the Babylonians as "The Liberator," the Greeks as the "Law-Giver," and the Jews as the "Anointed of the Lord." By freshening the voice, style and diction of Cyrus, Larry Hedrick has created a more contemporary Cyrus. A new generation of readers, including business executives and managers, military officers, and government officials, can now learn about and benefit from Cyrus the Great's extraordinary achievements, which exceeded all other leaders' throughout antiquity.
