Статья посвящена видному представителю раннего греческого историописания Ксанфу Лидийскому, жизнь и наследие которого изучались крайне недостаточно; соответственно, с ним связано немало нерешенных пока проблем, в том числе в области хронологии. В частности, есть разные мнения относительно времени его жизни, и поэтому неясно, он ли повлиял на Геродота, или наоборот. Одной из причин такого положения вещей, безусловно, является фрагментарная сохранность их сочинений, из которых ни одно не дошло полностью. Однако имеющихся в нашем распоряжении фрагментов этих текстов в совокупности немало, и содержащаяся в них информация дает почву для ответственных суждений по многим сюжетам. В статье приводятся аргументы в пользу того, что Ксанф был старшим современником Геродота и влияние исходило с его стороны. Рассматриваются черты сходства между сочинениями двух вышеупомянутых историков.

The article deals with a prominent representative of early Greek historical writing, Xanthus of Lydia, whose life and legacy have been studied extremely insufficiently; correspondingly, a number of issues still unsolved is connected with him, chronological ones among them. In particular, there are various opinions as to the time of his life, and so it is not clear whether he influenced Herodotus or vice versa. One of the reasons for that is certainly the fragmentary preservation of their writings, none of which has survived in full. However, the fragments of those texts that we have at our disposal are in the aggregate numerous, and the information they contain provides a basis for responsible judgments on many subject-plots. The article provides arguments, according to which Xanthus was Herodotus’ elder contemporary and the influence came from him. Common features between the two above-mentioned historians are analyzed.
