## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent, very readable translation.
  

*by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021*

Professor Cawkwell provides an excellent introduction to Rex Warner's translation of Xenophon's Hellenica, applauding the book's value as a memoir while questioning its validity as a straight history and pointing out where more recent research has reached a similar conclusion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    great book for comparison with today
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2011*

Greetings all,  This is another Penguin classic, a worthy addition to one's library, but a better gift for a senior in high school or early college.  It is a tale about how the world really works, ready for comparison with today.  Best regards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wonderful read, ignore the footnotes.
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2022*

I wanted to read some of the works of Xenophon and so I purchased this book as well as another one. Unfortunately Penguin publishing allowed some guy named George Cawkwell to obnoxiously try to denigrate Xenophon in almost each and every page of the book with his footnotes.I assumed that Cawkwell was jealous of Xenophon since I really had the impression that Cawkwell personally disliked Xenophon due to his hostile footnotes.I got around this though by simply ignoring and not reading his footnotes at the bottom of the pages and found that it greatly helped my reading experience.I was then immersed in the world Xenophon was writing about and each time I saw a symbol by a word showing me that Cawkwell has written something at the bottom of the page, I purposely ignored it and did not read the obnoxious and hostile to Xenophon footnote.As for the physical book itself, mine was used and obviously by college students since it had been written in and underlined in a few places, but those markings were not as annoying as Cawkwell's text within the book.
