The famous author of the "Anabasis"; born at Athens, about 430 B. C.; died in Corinth, about 355 B. C. He is the author of the "Hellenics"; "Anabasis"; "Encomium of Agesilaus"; "Horsemanship"; "Hipparchicus"; "Cynegeticus"; "Lacedaemonian Polity"; "Cyropaedeia"; "Athenian Finance"; "Memorabilia of Socrates"; "Symposium"; "CEconomicus"; "Hieron"; "Apology of Socrates". "The Polity of Athens" is now regarded as an anonymous work incorporated into the text of Xenophon, but probably not his.
