Xenophanes

Xenophanes, known in Ancient Greek as Ξενοφάνης ὁ Κολοφώνιος, was a male human born in Colophon around 570 B.C. He worked as a philosopher, poet, writer, and theologian within the fields of Pre-Socratic and ancient philosophy. His writings were composed in Ancient Greek, and he adhered to a deist worldview.

He died in Syracuse in 478 BCE. Xenophanes was the teacher of Parmenides. His notable works include *Spvr. & Cont. Tomus undecimus operum in quo libelli quidam spurii Aris. ascripti continentur*, *Testimonianze e frammenti*, *Tegen de fabels van weleer*, *Philosophorum graecorum veterum, praesertim qui ante Platonem floruerunt ...*, and *Die Fragmente*. He has been described by sources such as *The Nuttall Encyclopædia*, the *Granat Encyclopedic Dictionary*, and the *Encyclopædia Britannica* 11th edition.
