C2.12, fin. For Hellenic or Xenophontine or old-world theory of the misfortunes which befall the virtuous, _vide_ Homer, _vide_ Book of Job (Satan), _vide_ Tragedians. C2.15. Cf. the _Economist_ for praise of rural simplicity. It is Xenophon _ipsissimus_. C2.17. Whose bad manners is Xenophon thinking of? Thebans'? C2.20, fin. A very noble sentence. The man who utters it and the people whose heart and mind it emanates from must be of a high order; and in the _Memorabilia_ Socrates has this highest praise, that he studied to make himself and _all others also_ as good as possible. C2.21. Notice the practical answer of Cyrus to this panegyric (cf. J. P.). C2.32. Prolix, Xenophontic. C3.6 ff. Here also I feel the mind of Xenophon shimmering under various lights. The _Cyropaedia_ is shot with Orientalism. Homeric Epicism--antique Hellenism and modern Hellenism are both there. Spartan simplicity and Eastern quaintness both say their say. In this passage the biblical element seems almost audible. C3.7. This is in the grand style, Oriental, dilatory, ponderous, savouring of times when battles were affairs of private arrangement between monarchs and hedged about by all the punctilios of an affair of honour. C3.12. N.B.--The archic man shows a very ready wit and inventiveness in the great art of "grab" in war, though as he said to his father he was "a late learner" in such matters. Cf. in modern times the duties of a detective or some such disagreeable office. G. O. Trevelyan as Irish secretary. Interesting for _war ethics_ in the abstract, and for Xenophon's view, which is probably Hellenic. Cyrus now has the opportunity of carrying out the selfish decalogue, the topsy-turvy morality set forth in I. C.6, C.26 ff. C3.13. Cf. Old Testament for the sort of subterfuges and preparations, e.g. the Gibeonites. C3.15. The archic man has no time. Cyrus {ou skholazei}. Cf. J. P. It comes from energy combined with high gifts of organisation, economic, architectonic. C3.19. Nice, I think, this contrasting of spiritual and natural productiveness. C3.32. Here is the rule of conduct clearly expressed, nor do I see how a military age could frame for itself any other. Christianity only emerged _sub pace Romana_, which for fraternal brotherhood was the fullness of time; and even in the commercial age the nations tumble back practically into the old system. C3.36 ff. An army on forced march: are there any novelties here? C3.53. These minute details probably not boring at the time, but interesting rather, perhaps useful. C4.13. Cyrus resembles Fawcett in his unselfish self-estimate. Gadatas is like the British public, or hgd. C4.16. Here we feel that the Assyrian is not a mere weakling: he can play his part well enough if he gets a good chance. It needs an Archic and Strategic Man to overpower him. C4.17. ANCIENT and MODERN parallelism in treatment of wounded.
