He demonstrates through recounted conversations how Socrates benefited Athenians and their society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eMemorabilia\u003c\/em\u003e is assumed to have been completed after 371 BC, as the text makes reference to the Spartan defeat at the Battle of Leuctra in that year. Xenophon likely aimed to reach a wider range of readers, many of whom may have welcomed the down-to-earth advice his depiction of Socrates gives. Xenophon's portrayal of Socrates was highly influential to Athenian society, and assists modern scholars in understanding how various schools of ancient thought made use of Socrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47520061292765,"sku":"9781778780394","price":62.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/H2UjjAD-R59781778780394.webp?v=1772235606","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/memorabilia-royal-collectors-edition-case-laminate-hardcover-with-jacket-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
