Philosophers Scholars Epithets Teachers Xenophon, ca. 430-354 B.C. ab: The article deals with a passage from John Milton's work "Apology for Smectymnuus" which claims that Xenophon is the equal of Plato. It notes that the passage's context suggests an answer that is congenial with the accepted opinions not only of Milton's high esteem for Plato but also of his care in the choice of epithets.

It stresses that the passage means Xenophon is the equal of Plato as teacher, not as literary craftsman or philosopher. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1970 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
