<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4569646, member: 72790&quot;]You are reminding me that there is a lot about Xenophon that I do not know. I am not certain though, that Xenophon would have seen a tyrant, in the Greek meaning of the term, as unfavorably as a Roman, at least the Optimates, would have seen a dictator for life. The topic of slavery, except perhaps as an economic matter,&nbsp; would have been seen by just about any Greek or Roman as having no importance or worth at all. Both do share something that is a redeeming value. Although both would kill those who got in their way, neither seemed sadistic about it and did not kill gratuitously. Also both share the ability to read a battlefield accurately and quickly adjust to changing circumstances which is not a common quality in military commanders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
