Synopsis
Excerpt from Xenophon Scripta Minora: With an English Translation
The fourteenth chapter 18 strange and bewildering, and many have maintained that it is spurious. It is written in a spirit of disillusion, and it contradicts some of the statements made in earlier chapters. Internal evidence shows that it was written certainly before the battle of Leuctra (371 and probably after 378 Observe, however; that Xenophon is not indicting the people: his wrath falls only on a small section of powe'rful Spartans, on the governors, harmosts, whose conduct was a violation of the laws of Lycurgus -and of the principles so strictly adhered to by his hero Agesilaus.
