Ancient Greek Economics and Politics

About This Novel
Xenophon was one of the three major historians of ancient Greece along with Herodotus and Thucydides. He not only wrote "History of Greece" and "The Long March" and other masterpieces that were praised by later generations, but also wrote many short articles criticizing the city-state system and people and events at that time. "Economics and Politics of Ancient Greece" is a collection of seven short treatises by Xenophon, including "Domestic Economics", "On Financial Resources", "Spartan Constitution", "Agesilaus", "Hiero", "On Captains of Cavalry" and "The Constitution of Athens" written under the name of Xenophon. Although these articles are short, they are quite groundbreaking. They are the earliest works in the classical era to discuss topics such as family life management, city-state income and expenditure reduction, and cavalry combat training. They have left a wealth of historical materials for future generations to understand the major city-states of Sparta and Athens in the Greek classical era, as well as the social life and political, economic, and military conditions of the time.
