The Story of Xanthus
(Zan-thus)

Xanthus is the immortal horse that Achilles rode into battle. Achilles had been warned by his mother Thetis, a goddess of the sea, that if he went to battle he would perish. Naturally, Achilles didn’t listen to his Mother. As fate would have it, Xanthus was given the power of speech. Xanthus warned Achilles that he was about to die in the Trojan War. This time Achilles listened. Xanthus is the first true talking horse. Sometimes it takes a talking horse to get people to listen.

Xanthus Communications LLC was founded in 2003 by Patricia Vaccarino. In 2019 Patricia decided to take a step back from taking new clients to focus on writing books articles and essays. In 2020 Patricia’s oldest daughter Kaitlin Scarlett Culp was invited to take over the family business. Kaitlin has over a decade in sales and marketing experience, working with large national businesses ranging from Nordstrom and Life Time Fitness to independent startups and franchises in the Health and Wellness sectors. Kaitlin’s drive and passion for a full range of industries and professional services pair perfectly with her knowledge, skills and experience in communication.
