Noreen Humble is a Professor in the Department of Classics at the University of Calgary. She has published numerous articles about Xenophon and the reception of Xenophon and Plutarch in Byzantium and the Renaissance, and is the editor of Plutarch's Lives: Parallelism and Purpose (2010), and co-editor (with P. Crowley and S. Ross) of Mediterranean Travels: Writing Self and Other (2011).
Re-evaluates Xenophon's supposed admiration of Sparta and argues that his work, the Lacedaimonion Politeia, is a critical and philosophical examination of Spartan socio-cultural practices driven by his Socratic ideas. Also demonstrates remarkable points of convergence with his fellow Socratic Plato, as well as connections with Isocrates too.
