Antigenes the Historian was a 4th-century BCE Greek author known only from a single citation by Athenaeus of Naucratis in the Deipnosophistae. No biographical details survive. His dating is inferred from the subject matter of his work, which belongs to the post-Alexander interest in Persian customs.
His sole known work is On the Extravagance of the Persian Kings, preserved only in a fragment by Athenaeus. The fragment describes the Persian king dining alone behind a curtain, served by eunuchs.
Antigenes is a fragmentary source for ancient Greek perceptions of Persian court luxury. His work represents the broader Hellenistic genre of ethnographic writing about Persia. He exemplifies the many minor historians whose traces survive almost exclusively in the compilatory work of Athenaeus.
