Xenagoras

Xenagoras (Ancient Greek: Ξεναγόρας) was the name of a number of men of classical antiquity:

  • Xenagoras of Halicarnassus, companion of the Achaemenid commander Masistes
  • Xenagoras (historian), a historical writer, likely of the 2nd century BCE
  • Xenagoras, historian, and father of the historian Nymphis. Possibly the same man as the above. If so, he must have lived in the early part of the second century BCE.
  • Xenagoras (geometer), who wrote in the ancient world about the heights of mountains
  • Xenagoras, an archon of Delphi in late 1st century BCE.[1]
  • Xenagoras, son of Phoinix, and Xenagoras, son of Xenagoras, two (presumably related) men recorded as providing a sizable donation to the state on the epidosis of Kalymna (modern Kalymnos).[2]
