Callisthenes of Olynthus (in Greek Template:Polytonic; ca. 360-328 BC) was a Greek historian. He was the son of HeroTemplate:Disambiguation needed and Proxenus of Atarneus, which made him the great nephew of Aristotle by his sister Arimneste. They first met when Aristotle tutored Alexander the Great. Through his great-uncle's influence, he was later appointed to attend Alexander the Great on his Asiatic expedition as a professional historian.
