Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Two puzzles perplex readers of Xenophon’s Education of Cyrus. The first relates to the title of the work; the second, to its conclusion. If the title is taken to refer, as it typically has been, to the education Cyrus receives—first at home in the Persian republic and later in the Median court of his grandfather, Astyages—then we must confront the awkward fact that Cyrus’ formal education ends at the conclusion of Book I. The puzzle then becomes: what does Cyrus learn thereafter? It is hard to see what he learns, since he acts with great confidence and success throughout the course of his career. The second puzzle is this: if Cyrus is so great, why does his empire degenerate after his death? This essay argues that both puzzles can be solved at once if we take the primary subject of the Cyropaedia to be the education Cyrus gives, not the one he receives. The work is best read as a series of lessons in moral corruption. Cyrus succeeds in this education—gradually reducing the virtuous and free men of Persia into little more than animals, slaves to their enlarged passions. Once we appreciate the negative lessons of the Cyropaedia, we will also be better positioned to appreciate the positive moral education given by Socrates, as depicted in the Memorabilia.
