Abstract:This article argues for a reinterpretation of Xenophon’s corpus by identifying conflicts and contradictions among the anonymous narrators of the Anabasis, Cyropaedia, and Symposium, among other texts. Examining the possibility that certain Xenophontic narrators may be characters independent of each other, this article identifies numerous moments—including philosophical and historical disagreements, chronological problems, and explicit statements—which support identifying at least seven of Xenophon’s ten narrators (excepting those of the treatises) as a character other than Xenophon. It ends by arguing for a reappraisal of Xenophon as an ironic philosopher, rather than as a historiographer.

哲学家色诺芬：E Pluribus Plura

摘要：本文主张通过识别 Anabasis、Cyropaedia 和 Symposium 等文本的匿名叙述者之间的冲突和矛盾来重新解释色诺芬的语料库。本文考察了某些色诺芬叙述者可能是相互独立的人物的可能性，确定了许多时刻——包括哲学和历史分歧、年代问题和明确的陈述——支持确定色诺芬的十个叙述者中的至少七个（除了那些论文的叙述者） ) 作为色诺芬以外的角色。最后主张将色诺芬重新评价为具有讽刺意味的哲学家，而不是历史学家。
