Abstract
ILLARRAGA, Rodrigo. CRISIS POLÍTICA Y SU RESOLUCIÓN EN LA CIRUPEDIA: EL CASO DE ARMENIA Y CALDEA (2, 4, 12 - 3, 3, 1). Eidos [online]. 2017, n.27, pp.70-95. ISSN 1692-8857.
How to solve political crisis arising from the conflict between different societies? What actions ought to be undertaken? In this article we will address the answers that Xenophon gives to these questions in Cyropaedia having in mind the Armenian and Chaldean affairs. For doing this, we will study the situations, as well as the ways of resolution Cyrus used to deal with them. We will conclude that Xenophon presents Cyrus as an exceptional leader who makes use of a double strategy: generosity and coercion. Apparently contradictory concepts, they must be administered together in order to reach the voluntary submission of a foreign society.
