This chapter examines Xenophon?s treatment of three important outsider groups in the Ways and Means ( Poroi ): slaves, foreigners, and metics. The topic merits attention for the light it sheds not only on his political economy but also his ethical philosophy, which often pushes the boundaries of traditional Greek morality and values. Xenophon aims to integrate into Athenian society slaves ( douloi ), resident aliens (metics), and foreigners ( xenoi ) much further than anything previously attempted or conceived. The chapter demonstrates that he attempts to augment the size of intervening status categories, which, had his proposals been fully implemented, would have contributed significantly to the erosion of the status divide separating citizen from non-citizen outsider. Keywords:Athenian society slaves; ethical philosophy; foreigners; metics; political economy; Poroi ; Xenophon
