Economist

Xenophon ( c. 430 – 354 BC), son of Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens, also known as Xenophon of Athens, was a Greek historian, soldier, mercenary, and student of Socrates. Xenophon wrote about domestic issues in his Economics and defined the responsibilities of a wife as "the overseer of the home and children" and marriage as a “partnership ordained by the gods.” He is best known as the author of Anabasis.
