Tao Jones posted:I was intrigued by a bit of detail that Xenophon points out when the armies are preparing for combat -- the Persians don't wear headgear when they fight. Why not? Is this just an interesting anthropological detail, some attempt to otherize the Persians, or is it significant? Xenophon doesn't seem overly fond of 'fun facts' like Herodotus, so it kind of stuck out. My translation claims it's probably an addition from some later editor, not Xenophon himself.

I'm in book 2 and it's getting way better but so far my favorite part is from book 1 with the ostriches.

I'm very down to read some Eco.
