Known to modern readers almost exclusively as a military historian, Xenophon (ca 430-355 BC) here rebuts specific charges made against Socrates, and argues that the philosopher's influence through his behavior and teaching was useful and beneficial to all. British scholar of the classics Macloed presents a Greek edition of the two works with facing pages of English translation. Footnotes identify variant readings, and endnotes comment on the text. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Company.
