Xenophon doesn't get the respect he deserves, not in our time at least. It's great to see a video on him and I'm looking forward to the next. I named my ancient coin company "Hellenika Ancients", after his book of the same title. I only wish he didn't have so much contempt for Epaminondas, enough so to have barely mentioned his amazing generalship. And of course, the only book of "The Parallel Lives" by Plutarch that we don't have is on Epaminondas! He just had bad luck I suppose. Great video!!!!

Hey, man. Thanks for the video. I just wanted to say that my first language is spanish, and learning english have represented a huge door to keep me learning about philosophy, history or literature. There are many videos in spanish which their subjects are not in english and viceversa. Speak a second language could take you to another level of knowledge. Saludos desde Colombia.

It is Critobulus who says these words about Cleinias/Kleinias. Xenophon just recorded it

The daily questions asked by Xenophon: boss, WHERE'S MY SALARY?! The rest of the 10000s asked the same questions too

BC stands for “before Christ” and AD for Anno Domini “the year of the lord.” BCE “before the common era” and CE “common era” are now preferable. I don't think so. It's still BC

Wasn't Critobulus the one that "admired" Cleinias, and not Xenophon?

This comment has driven me crazy! I can't find anything to confirm whether who wrote this 'poem' has anyone got some evidence either way?

Found it! Written by xenophon, but you are right it is critobulus who says the words; Then Critobulus spoke: It is now my turn, I think, to state to you the grounds on which I pride myself on beauty. A chorus of voices rejoined: Say on. Crit. To begin with, if I am not beautiful, as methinks I be, you will bring on your own heads the penalty of perjury; for, without waiting to have the oath administered, you are always taking the gods to witness that you find me beautiful. And I must needs believe you, for are you not all honourable men? If I then be so beautiful and affect you, even as I also am affected by him whose fair face here attracts me, I swear by all the company of heaven I would not choose the great king’s empire in exchange for what I am - the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals. And at this instant I feast my eyes on Cleinias gladlier than on all other sights which men deem fair. Joyfully will I welcome blindness to all else, if but these eyes may still behold him and him only. With sleep and night I am sore vexed, which rob me of his sight; but to daylight and the sun I owe eternal thanks, for they restore him to me, my heart’s joy, Cleinias. That's the correct quote, the video summarised a little and made it harder for me to find.

Fun fact: the term xenophobic derives from Xenophon.

@@segunzeesojoski Xenophon comes from the roots that mean “a foreign voice.” The “xeno” in xenophobic just means “foreign.” And the phobic part of course means “fear.” So xenophobia just means the “fear of foreigners.” It just shares a root with Xenophon and is not derived from Xenophon.
