Book Synopsis
This volume contains an introduction discussing Xenophon's views on government in the context of his general political thought and a commentary aimed primarily at students on the Greek text of each of the three works included - the Hiero (On Tyranny), the Constitution of the Spartans, and the pseudonymous Constitution of the Athenians.

Trade Review
'[Gray] has worked for decades on Xenophon and she is, without doubt, fully in command of her material. Her commentary provides the reader with sound philological and philosophical analysis, laudably also paying attention to such unfashionable matters as particles and tone.' Journal of Hellenic Studies
