Cyropaedia by Xenophon (c. 430 c. 354 BCE) is a historical romance on the education of the sixth century BCE Persian king Cyrus the Elder that reflects Xenophon s ideas about rulers and government.

Anabasis is the most famous work, in seven books, of the Greek professional soldier and writer Xenophon. The journey it narrates is his best known accomplishment and "one of the great adventures in human history," as Will Durant expressed the common assessment.

Focusing on the defense of Socrates, the book presents enlightening examples of his conversations and actions. Through these narratives, Xenophon contends that Socrates was unjustly accused, illustrating his positive impact on society and highlighting his philosophical contributions.
