Xanthos (King of Thebes)

Xanthus (Greek: Ξάνθος), son of Ptolemy, was the king of Thebes, the 16th[1] and final monarch that ruled the city.[2] He was possibly king only temporarily, being shown at times as the king of the Boeotians, the King of the Thebians. He was killed by either Andropompus[3] or Melanthus[4] of Attica.
