[Cyropaedia by Xenophon]@TWC D-Link bookCyropaedia BOOK VI 48/50
Is it, as far as the army goes, novel in any respect, do you suppose, or only idealised Hellenic? Spartan? C3.14.A slight (intentional ?) aposiopesis.
Did H.have to drive back the great cavalry division of the enemy? C3.17.How quickly the archic man passes on! Cf.
J.P. C3.19.Notice the part given to the Egyptians to play.
Why? (Agesilaus died on his last campaign in Egypt.) C3.25.Is it dramatic to make Cyrus speak in this way as if he were lecturing a class on strategics? C3.30.The advantage even of sutlers and women.
This several-times-repeated remark surprises me.
