that you have all helped to create a group of people who are actually ready to
take on this slightly more obscure challenge. Many of us are now familiar
readers of Herodotus and Thucydides; and lots of the others joining have cut
their teeth on Plato or Aristotle or some other primary, difficult work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I am looking forward to our call
tonight. Call info is below. I'll start the call, then at around
8:30pm EST Robert Strassler will share with us his experience with this text,
especially in terms of seeing Xenophon’s <u>Hellenika</u> with
respect to other sources we have of events in Greece in the 4th century B.C.
He will be explaining to us why comparing sources is critical in terms of
understanding Xenophon’s intent and veracity. You can look over pp.
xxvi-xxx and lix-lxii in the Introduction to get acquainted with these issues
if you like before or after the call.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I would like to keep our calls as
focused as possible on our reading, so as a way of getting to know each other
before our first call, would you ‘reply to all’ on this email with
a little bit about yourself: What motivates you to read books like
Xenophon’s <u>Hellenika</u>? What other kinds of books do you
enjoy reading and why? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
