Eponym Xenophon

Xenophon is a small lunar crater that lies across the southern rim of the Fermi walled-plain, to the west of the Tsiolkovskiy crater. South of Xenophon is 'Zhiritskiy F', a satellite crater of Zhiritskiy to the south-southwest.

The rim of this crater is eroded and crossed by several tiny craterlets, especially along the western edge. The interior floor is relatively featureless. This crater is located on the far side of the Moon and can not be seen directly from the Earth.
