   http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/x/xenophon.htm
   
   Extractions: Life An Athenian, the son of Gryllus, Xenophon was born about 444 BCE. In his early life he was a pupil of Socrates; but the turning point in his career came when he decided to serve in the Greek contingent raised by Cyrus against Artaxerxes in 401. Xenophon himself mentions the circumstances under which he joined this army ( Anab Anab. 7:8, 23). He tells the story himself, and is evidently not ashamed of it. In other ways also he showed himself the prototype of an adventurous leader of condottieri , with no ties of country or preference of nationality. He formed a scheme for establishing a town with the Ten Thousand on the shores of the Euxine; but it fell through. He joined the Spartans, as has been seen, and he continued in their service even when they were at war with Athens. Agesilaus, the Spartan, was commanding the Lacedaemonian forces in Asia against the Persians in 396, and Xenophon was with him at least during part of the campaign. When Agesilaus was recalled (394), Xenophon accompanied him, and he was on the side of the Lacedaemonians in the battle which they fought at Coronea (394) against the Athenians. As a natural consequence a decree of exile was passed against him at Athens. It seems that he went to Sparta with Agesilaus after the battle of Coronea, and soon after he settled at Scillus in Elis, not far from Olympia, a spot of which he has given a description in the

   Read the Greek historian xenophon's study of the political organization of the Spartans, circa 375 BC. Ancient History Sourcebook xenophon (c.428c.354 BCE)  
   http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/xeno-sparta1.html
   
   Extractions: The Polity of the Spartans, c. 375 BCE I recall the astonishment with which I first noted the unique position of Sparta among the states of Hellas, the relatively sparse population, and at the same time the extraordinary powers and prestige of the community. I was puzzled to account for the fact. It was only when I came to consider the peculiar institutions of the Spartans, that my wonderment ceased. When we turn to Lycurgos, instead of leaving it to each member of the state privately to appoint a slave to be his son's tutor, he set over the young Spartans a public guardianthe paidonomos -with complete authority over them. This guardian was elected from those who filled the highest magistracies. He had authority to hold musters of the boys, and as their guardian, in case of any misbehavior, to chastise severely. Lycurgos further provided the guardian with a body of youths in the prime of life and bearing whips to inflict punishment when necessary, with this happy result, that in Sparta modesty and obedience ever go hand in hand, nor is there lack of either. Instead of softening their feet with shoe or sandal, his rule was to make them hardy through going barefoot. This habit, if practiced, would, as he believed, enable them to scale heights more easily and clamber down precipices with less danger. In fact, with his feet so trained the young Spartan would leap and spring and run faster unshod than another in the ordinary way. Instead of making them effeminate with a variety of clothes, his rule was to habituate them to a single garment the whole year through, thinking that so they would be better prepared to withstand the variations of heat and cold. Again, as regards food, according to his regulation, the

   Extractions: Xenophon: Anabasis, or March Up Country Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C. The Anabasis is his story of the march to Persia to aid Cyrus, who enlisted Greek help to try and take the throne from Artaxerxes, and the ensuing return of the Greeks, in which Xenophon played a leading role. This occurred between 401 B.C. and March 399 B.C. Contents Xenophon Anabasis BOOK I Darius and Parysatis had two sons: the elder was named Artaxerxes, and the younger Cyrus. Now, as Darius lay sick and felt that the end of life drew near, he wished both his sons to be with him. The elder, as it chanced, was already there, but Cyrus he must needs send for from the province over which he had made him satrap, having appointed him general moreover of all the forces that muster in the plain of the Castolus. Thus Cyrus went up, taking with him Tissaphernes as his friend, and accompanied also by a body of Hellenes, three hundred heavy armed men, under the command of Xenias the Parrhasian[1].

11. THE WORLD OF XENOPHON
    THE WORLD OF xenophon. An International Conference on xenophon, to be held at TheUniversity of Liverpool from Wednesday 7th July to Saturday 10th July 1999.  
    http://www.liv.ac.uk/~gjoliver/xenconf.html
    
    Extractions: The Conference will be held at the Derby and Rathbone Conference site in Liverpool. In the thirty years since H.R.Breitenbach's Pauly-Wissowa article Xenophontic scholarship has undergone not only a renaissance but a metamorphosis. The mere quantity of material - including over twenty monographs and commentaries - reflects an incontestable rebirth of interest. But the accompanying transformation of attitude is even more striking. Xenophon has always seemed vulnerable to the charge of being an amateur who practised many trades and was second-rate at all of them - a heinous sin from the standpoint of professional academics. Yet in the last generation a series of scholars - predominantly from an Anglo-American tradition now particularly hostile to amateurism - has grappled with Xenophon's oeuvre and, without forswearing the right to criticize, has conceded that its author should be taken seriously as a distinctive voice on the history, society and thought-world of the later classical (and pre-hellenistic) era. Xenophon has been the beneficiary of several independent trends in scholarship. Growing interest in the political road from the Peloponnesian War to Philip II, improved analysis of the peculiarities of Sparta, an ever-increasing concern with socio-economic structures, social institutions (e.g. the symposium) and issues of gender, the remarkable development in Achaemenid Persian studies and in work on the Ancient Novel, greater sensitization of historians and literary scholars to the prevalence and pitfalls of biographical or quasi-biographical discourse in antiquity - all these have given fresh prominence to

It obviously is dated now, but actually gives a better flavor of what Crimea was like in the 19th century, not long after the Crimean War, than a recent article would.
