Combat & Classics Ep. 49 Xenophon’s “The Education of Cyrus” Book VIII with Shilo Brooks

All good things must come to an end — but so must all bad things, and Cyrus’ empire ends badly. Was Cyrus happy? Is it possible to rule human beings the way he did, like a god, and also make yourself and them happy? And why did such a cold king have two sons? Brian, Shilo, and Jeff have answers, and these answers raise new and interesting questions, and point to another of Xenophon’s books.
