Abstract
This chapter focuses on a short prose treatise preserved among the writings of Xenophon, familiarly known as the Old Oligarch (O.O.). It argues that O.O. is a fourth-century work about the fifth-century Athenian democracy and empire, which the author pretends are still in existence; that it is in fact a clever ludic work of imaginative fiction which perhaps belongs to the genre of literature associated with the symposion or ritualized drinking session.
