Xenophon, an admirer of Socrates, documented his thoughts and experiences in various works after leaving Athens to serve as a mercenary. His writings, including Memorabilia and Oeconomicus, offer insights into Socratic philosophy and Athenian life. The collection also features Apology, which complements Plato’s account of Socrates’ trial. Through these dialogues and treatises on subjects like economics and horsemanship, Xenophon provides a rich portrayal of both Socrates and the social context of his time.
