es.

C1.13. Shows a confidence in the healthy action of the will. When
Araspas himself is caught later on he develops the theory of a double
self, a higher and a lower (so hgd., and so, I think, Xenophon and
Socrates. _Vide Memorabilia_).

C1.16, fin. Cyrus || Socrates, his prototype here.

C1.18. Very natural and beautiful. Xenophon sympathetic with such a
beautiful humanity. The woman's nature brought out by these touches.
Xenophon, Dramatist: the moral problem is subordinate, that is to say,
is made to grow out of the dramatic action and characterisation.

C1.20. Notice the absolutely fair and warrantable diplomatic advantage
given to the archic man: each step he takes opens up new avenues of
progress. Herein is fulfilled "to him who hath shall be given," but
Cyrus plays his part also, he has the wisdom of serpents with the
gentleness of doves.

C1.21. This is the true rhetoric, the right road to persuasiveness, to
be absolutely frank.

C1.24. The desire to be ruled by the archic man, which the
archomenoi--i.e. all men--feel, is thus manifest. Notice again how the
Mede's own character is maintained: he speaks as he felt then.

C2.8. The bridegroom will be found to be Hystaspas; but we have no
suspicion as yet, without looking on.

C2.9. In this interview Cyrus' character still further developed. _Ex
ore Cyri._, Xenophon propounds his theory of the latent virtue in man,
which only needs an opportunity to burst forth, but, this lacking,
remains unrevealed. Now it is a great godsend to get such a chance. It
is thoroughly Hellenic, or Xenophon-Socratic, this feeling, "Give me
a chance to show my virtue." (But has Cyrus a touch of superhuman
conscious rectitude?)

C2.12. The same thought again: it is full of delicacy and spiritual
discernment: the more one ponders it the more one feels that.

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
