Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Xanthippus (2)
The son the Athenian statesmen, Perikles (Pericles) and brother of Paralus.
Xanthippus married a young woman with very expensive tastes and was prompted to live beyond his means; without Pericles’ permission, Xanthippus used his father’s name to secure a loan and when Xanthippus could not repay the loan, Pericles refused to assist him and denounced his son; the embittered Xanthippus began to spread scandalous stories about his father’s private life; father and son were never reconciled; Xanthippus and his brother, Paralus, died of the plague which ravaged the city of Athens circa 430 BCE.
