Cyropaedia: The Education of Cyrus by Xenophon Cyropaedia: The Education of Cyrus by Xenophon PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad The Cyropaedia (or Cyropedia) is a "partly fictional biography" of Cyrus the Great, written in the early 4th century BC by the Athenian gentleman-soldier, and student of Socrates, Xenophon of Athens. The Latinized title Cyropaedia derives from Greek Kúrou paideía, meaning "The Education of Cyrus". Aspects of it would become a model for medieval writers of the genre known as mirrors for princes.

However, unlike most "mirrors of princes", and like The Prince, whether or not the Cyropaedia was really intended to describe an ideal ruler is a subject of debate. From reader reviews: Jose Longoria: This Cyropaedia: T...
