Meno (/ˈmiːnoʊ/; Greek: Mένων, Menōn; c. 423 – c. 400 BC), son of Alexidemus, was an ancient Thessalian political figure, probably from Pharsalus.[1]
He is famous both for the eponymous dialogue written by Plato and for his role as one of the generals leading different contingents of Greek mercenaries in Xenophon's Anabasis. Meno is reported by both Xenophon and Plato to have been attractive and in the bloom of youth, not yet even having a beard,[2] and was quite young at his death. He had many lovers, including Aristippus of Larissa, Tharypas, and Ariaeus the Persian.[3]
