Cyropaedia: the education of Cyrus by Xenophon
page 56 of 369 (15%)
into virtue.

C6.8, fin. The false theory of ruling in vogue in Media: the /plus/ of
ease instead of the /plus/ of foresight and danger-loving endurance.
Cf. Walt Whitman.

C6.30. Is like the logical remark of a disputant in a Socratic
dialogue of the Alcibiades type, and ßß 31-33 a Socratic /mythos/ to
escape from the dilemma; the breakdown of this ideal /plus/ and
/minus/ righteousness due to the hardness of men's hearts and their
feeble intellects.

C6.31. Who is this ancient teacher or who is his prototype if he is an
ideal being? A sort of Socrates-Lycurgus? Or is Xenophon thinking of
the Spartan Crypteia?

C6.34. For /pleonexia/ and deceit in war, vide /Hipparch/., c. 5 [tr.
Works, Vol. III. Part II. p. 20]. Interesting and Hellenic, I think,
the mere raising of this sort of question; it might be done nowadays,
perhaps, with advantage /or/ disadvantage, less cant and more plain
brutality.

C6.39. Hunting devices applied: throws light on the date of the
/Cyropaedia/, after the Scilluntine days, probably. [After Xenophon
was exiled from Athens, his Spartan friends gave him a house and farm
at Scillus, a township in the Peloponnese, not far from Olympia. See
/Sketch of Xenophon's Life/, Works, Vol. I., p. cxxvi.]

C6.41, init. Colloquial exaggerated turn of phrase; almost "you could
wipe them off the earth."
