Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: As I shall try to show in this paper, Xenophon thought that understanding the nature of the Persian regime was a necessary condition for understanding Cyrus. Cyrus’ earliest education took place in Persia and he learned lessons there that he applies throughout his life. In order to begin to piece together Cyrus’ wisdom, we must as it were begin with his childhood education in Persia. As this paper will endeavor to show, the wisdom Cyrus acquires in Persia consists in large part in his coming to see the limits of the Persian regime, which he tries to transcend by correcting them and using these corrections as the motor or engine for his empire. To understand Cyrus’ wisdom ―which is to say, to understand the Cyropaedia― one must study the character of the Persian regime. Though Cyrus cannot be reduced to his Persian education, neither can his wisdom be understood apart from it. In the end, Xenophon’s wisdom may differ from Cyrus’ wisdom insofar as Xenophon thought that there were potentially many arguments to be made on behalf of maintaining the Persian regime, warts and all.
