On Tyranny: An Interpretation of Xenophon's Hiero is a book written by Leo Strauss that explores the concept of tyranny through an analysis of Xenophon's Hiero. The book examines the nature of tyranny and its impact on society, as well as the role of the tyrant and the people under his rule. Strauss argues that tyranny is not simply the result of a single individual's desire for power, but rather a complex phenomenon that arises from a combination of factors, including the weaknesses and failures of democratic institutions. He also explores the ways in which tyranny can be resisted and overcome, emphasizing the importance of individual courage and moral integrity in the face of oppression. Through his analysis of Xenophon's work, Strauss provides a thought-provoking and insightful commentary on the nature of tyranny and its impact on human society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
