Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Xenophon of Ephesus (fl. 2nd century-3rd century?) was a Greek writer. His surviving work is the Ephesian Tale of Anthia and Habrocomes, one of the earliest novels as well as one of the sources for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. He is not to be confused with the earlier and more famous Athenian soldier and historian, Xenophon. Xenophon, son of Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens, also known as Xenophon of Athens, was a Greek historian, soldier, mercenary, and a contemporary and admirer of Socrates. He is known for his writings on the history of his own times, the 4th century BC, preserving the sayings of Socrates, and the life of ancient Greece.
