Abstract

In recent years, studies on the philosophy of Xenophon have grown, especially regarding to ethical and political issues. A particularly debated topic has been the problem of the psychic or psychological structure of Ciro, Cyropaedia's main character. However, practically nothing has been said about Cyropaedia's "other" kings : Astiages, Cambyses, Croesus, Ciaxares, the Assyrian. This work seeks to offer a characterization and interpretation of these characters by analyzing how their political action develops.
