La presencia de los dioses en el Hiparco de Jenofonte

Abstract

The religious aspects in Xenophon’s works have been studied by several scholars, who for the most part have doubted if he actually believed in the existence of gods or if their presence in his works was rather cursory and conven­tional. My own analysis of the Hipparchus, a treatise on equestrian-military matters written towards the end of Xenophon’s life, reveals that his attitude towards the gods betrays a genuine belief.
