Ciropedia

Rate this book
Ciropedia es una obra de ficción biográfica que abarca la juventud, ascenso y gobierno de Ciro. Esta obra consta de ocho libros, los cuales tienen el objetivo de representar el ideal de soberano y caballero a partir de la figura ejemplar de Ciro. El libro I presenta el devenir de su personaje, mientras que los libros del II al VIII, narran su modo de actuar, producto de ese devenir.

Jenofonte compone una imagen idealizada de Ciro el Grande, rey de Persia, con una intención didáctica y moralizante: mostrar en qué consiste y cómo se forma el gobernante virtuoso. En ello se advierte, como en Platón, el magisterio de Sócrates, maestro de ambos.
