This state of affairs creates numerous problems, not the least of which is that the Persians, heirs of the millennia-old traditions of Mesopotamia and possessors of an Iranian cultural heritage great in its own right, are seen largely through the eyes of an alien people who did not fully understand them.

Paste-down endpaper a bit damaged. Endpaper gone. Title page loose. Dust wrps on spine discoloured. Else fine. The thesis of this book is that Xenophon's attitude to the Persians was generally favourable. (.) Ch. 1 deals with the philosophical and technical works, in which Hirsch finds only admiration for Persian efficiency. Ch. 2, 'Trust and Deceit in the Anabasis' deals honestly with problems posed by Cyrus the Younger's behaviour, and concludes innocuously that Xenophon liked honesty and disliked dishonesty, wherever he found them. (.) the interesting ch. 5 is about the King's Eye. H. does not think there was any such official(s), but denies that Xenophon in 'Cyrop'. 8.2 thought there was either. There is a useful critique of Pagliaro's view that this and other Greek terms for Persian institutions were the result of false etymology. Ch. 6 compares, rather breathlessly, Plato's views. Much of this needed saying. (.). I have two reservations about H.'s book. First, much of the time he is knocking down a straw man. (.) Second, and more important, H/'s enterprise suffes by seeing Xenophon in literary isolation. (.)
