• 21:5321:53, 20 August 2024 diff hist +32 Xenophon Improved the clarity of this unclear sentence, "For at least two millennia, Xenophon was debated to be whether generals, historians or philosophers." Since the article concedes that Xenophon was in fact all three (a fact that no one ever disputed, as far as I know), I've slightly changed the meaning too to make it a question of the relative significance of the three jobs. It also needs a footnote, probably.
