Xanthus of Lydia (also spelled Xanthos) was a native Lydian historian and logographer who, during the mid-fifth century BC, wrote works on the history of Lydia known as Lydiaka. It is assumed that his seat was at Sardis, the capital. A contemporary and colleague of Herodotus, most of his writings concerned the lineage and deeds of the Lydian kings. Xanthus was one of the chief authorities used by Nicolaus of Damascus.
