Xenophon was a Greek historian and a disciple of Socrates. He lived from 427 to 355 BC.
Xenophon was the primary historian of the last days of Greece's freedom. His Memorabilia depicts Socrates as a teacher of virtue who balanced reason and faith in order to attain the truth. [1] He wrote a detailed account Hellenica which picked up where Thucydides's History of the Peloponnesian War left off.
