Xena'goras(Ξεναγόρας), a Greek historian
quoted by Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.72), from whom we learn that Xenagoras related that
Ulysses and Circe had three sons, Romus, Antias, and Ardeas, who founded the three cities
which were called by their names. Macrobius also (5.19) refers to the third book of the
history of Xenagoras.
Xenagoras father of the Historian Nymphis
If he was the same person as the Xenagoras, the father of the historian Nymphis, he must
have lived in the early part of the second century B. C. [NYMPHIS.]
