Xenocles was the son of Carcinus the Elder and father of Carcinus the Younger, both also tragic playwrights.[3] He had at least two brothers were also tragic poets or actors. Ancient sources differ on whether Xenocles was one of three or four brothers,[4] and name them variously as Xenotimus, Xenarchus, Demotimus, Xenocleitus, and Datis.[3] Datis, quoted by Aristophanes in Peace,[3] may have been a nickname for Xenocles.[5]
