Xenophon's entire classical corpus is extant.<ref>See for example the ''Landmark edition of Xenophon's Hellenika''. In the preface Strassler writes (xxi), "Fifteen works were transmitted through antiquity under Xenophon's name, and fortunately all fifteen have come down to us".</ref> The following is a list of his works.

===Historical and biographical works===
* ''[[Anabasis (Xenophon)|Anabasis]]'' (also: ''The Persian Expedition'' or ''The March Up Country'' or The ''Expedition of Cyrus''): Provides an early life biography of Xenophon. ''Anabasis'' was used as a field guide by [[Alexander the Great]] during the early phases of his expedition into the [[Achaemenid Empire]].
* ''[[Cyropaedia]]'' (also: ''The Education of Cyrus''): Sometimes seen as the archetype of the European "[[mirror of princes]]" genre.
* ''[[Hellenica (Xenophon)|Hellenica]]'': His ''Hellenica'' is a major primary source for events in Greece from 411 to 362 BC, and is the continuation of the ''[[History of the Peloponnesian War]]'' by [[Thucydides]], going so far as to begin with the phrase "Following these events...". The Hellenica recounts the last seven years of the Peloponnesian War, as well as its aftermath, and is a detailed and direct account (however partial to Sparta) of the history of Greece until 362 BC.
* ''[[Agesilaus (Xenophon)|Agesilaus]]'': The biography of Agesilaus II, king of Sparta and companion of Xenophon.
* ''[[Polity of the Lacedaemonians]]'': Xenophon's history and description of the Spartan government and institutions.

===Socratic works and dialogues===

====Defences of Socrates====
* ''[[Memorabilia (Xenophon)|Memorabilia]]'': Collection of Socratic dialogues serving as a defense of Socrates outside of court.
* ''[[Apology (Xenophon)|Apology]]'': Xenophon's defence of Socrates in court.

====Other Socratic dialogues====
* ''[[Oeconomicus]]'': Socratic dialogue of a different sort, pertaining to household management and agriculture.

====Tyrants====
* ''[[Hiero (Xenophon)|Hiero]]'': Dialogue about happiness between [[Hiero I of Syracuse|Hiero]], the tyrant of Syracuse, and the lyric poet [[Simonides of Ceos]].

===Short treatises===
These works were probably written by Xenophon when he was living in [[Scillus]]. His days were likely spent in relative leisure here, and he wrote these treatises about the sorts of activities he spent time on.
* ''[[On Horsemanship]]'': Treatise on how to break, train, and care for horses.
* ''[[Hipparchicus|Hipparchikos]]'': Outlines the duties of a cavalry officer.
