How to use Xénophon in a sentence?

1. Horace Walpole:

   The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveler from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.

2. South Australians:

   They know the submarines aren't the silver bullet to the jobs crisis, they want to see the positive vision being displayed by the other players, the Greens and Nick Xenophon, rather than reverting back to the devil they know.

3. South Australia:

   We're a known quantity, these personality-based political parties, like the Xenophon one, you don't know what you're getting. A political party based around a personality is not going to be particularly stable.
