Abstract

This special issue of _Polis_, dedicated to the political thought of Xenophon, springs from the lively panels on Xenophon sponsored by the Society for Greek Political Thought at the Northeastern Political Science Association annual meetings. These panels bring together and encourage dialogue between scholars from varied backgrounds, in particular classicists, philosophers and political scientists, all groups with great interest in Xenophon, though often for different reasons. This volume contains a brief introduction, nine papers and five book reviews, and unites diverse participants in their desire to better understand Xenophon as a political philosopher.
