Xenome'des
(
Ξενομήδης), of Chios, a Greek historian, mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus along with Hellanicus and Damastes, as writers who lived a little before the Peloponnesian war. (Dionys.
de Thuc. 100.5.)
The fragments of his writings, quoted by the grammarians, are of a mythological nature. (Schol.
ad Aristoph. Lysistr. 447; Schol. Victor.
ad Il. 16.328; Etymol.
s. v. Θέλγειν, where
Ξενομηδης ought probably to be read instead of
Ἐνομίδης; comp. Müller,
Fragm. Hist. Grate. vol. ii. p. 43, Paris, 1848.)
