In Greek mythology Xanthius (Greek: Ξάνθιος) was a descendant of Bellerophon and father of Leucippus and an unnamed daughter.Through the wrath of Aphrodite Leucippus fell in love with his own sister. The passion turned out too strong for him to suppress so he addressed his mother imploring her to help him and threatening that he would kill himself if she didn’t. She united the girl to Leucippus and they consorted for a while.
