Callistratus Of Aphidnae
Kallistratos of Aphidnae ( grc, Καλλίστρατος, Latinized: Callistratus; bef. 415–aft. 355 BCE) was an Athenian orator and general in the 4th century BCE. Family We know little of his background, though he appears to have been of the liturgical class with interests in commerce rather than agriculture. His father was Kallikratous and he was a nephew by marriage of the Athenian demagogue Agyrrhios, though whose sister married whose brother is unknown. Career The earliest mention of Kallistratos was in 379 when the Theban Pelopidas used his name to gain entry to the home of his rival Leontidas in order to assassinate him. This was the opening gambit in the anti-Spartan party's campaign to retake control of the Theban government and expel the Spartan garrison occupying the Kadmeia. Their success led directly to the Boeotian War (379-75). It is unclear whether Kallistratos was actually involved in the plot or what his name was supposed to mean to Leontidas. He ...

Callistratus (grammarian)
Callistratus, Alexandrine grammarian, flourished at the beginning of the 2nd century BC. He was one of the pupils of Aristophanes of Byzantium, who were distinctively called Aristophanei. Callistratus chiefly devoted himself to the elucidation of the Greek poets; a few fragments of his commentaries have been preserved in the various collections of scholia and in Athenaeus. He was also the author of a miscellaneous work called ''Summikta'' (), used by the later lexicographers, and of a treatise on courtesans Courtesan, in modern usage, is a euphemism for a "kept" mistress or prostitute, particularly one with wealthy, powerful, or influential clients. The term historically referred to a courtier, a person who attended the court of a monarch or other ... (Athenaeus iii.125b, xiii.591d). Bibliography * H.-L.

Callistratus (jurist)
Callistratus, a Roman jurist, who, as appears from passages in Justinian's ''Digest'', wrote at least as late as the reign (AD 198–211) of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. Associations In a passage of the Augustan History (''Alex. Sev.'' 68) which, either from interpolation or from the inaccuracy of the author, abounds with anachronisms, Callistratus is stated to have been a disciple of Papinian, and to have been one of the council of Alexander Severus. This statement may be correct, notwithstanding the suspicious character of the source whence it is derived. Works The numerous extracts from Callistratus in the ''Digest'' occupy eighteen pages in Hommel's ''Palingenesia Pandectarum''; and the fact that he is cited by no other jurist in the ''Digest'' may be accounted for by observing that this work contains extracts from few jurists of importance subsequent to Callistratus. The extracts from Callistratus are taken from works bearing the following titles: * ''Libri VI de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Callistratus (sophist)
Callistratus ( grc-x-koine, Καλλίστρατος), Greek sophist and rhetorician, probably flourished in the 3rd (or possibly 4th) century CE. He wrote (also known by the Latin title , and Greek title ), descriptions of fourteen works of art in stone or brass by distinguished artists. This little work is usually edited with the '' Eikones'' of Philostratus (whose form it imitates). References Bibliography * Editions of the Greek text ** Edition by C. Schenkl and E.

Harmodius And Aristogeiton
Harmodius (Greek: Ἁρμόδιος, ''Harmódios'') and Aristogeiton (Ἀριστογείτων, ''Aristogeíton''; both died 514 BC) were two lovers in Classical Athens who became known as the Tyrannicides (τυραννόκτονοι, ''tyrannoktonoi'') for their assassination of Hipparchus, the brother of the tyrant Hippias, for which they were executed. A few years later, in 510 BC, the Spartan king Cleomenes I forced Hippias to go into exile, therefore opening the way to the subsequent democratic reforms of Cleisthenes. The Athenian democrats later celebrated Harmodius and Aristogeiton as national heroes, partially to conceal the role played by Sparta in the removal of the Athenian tyranny. Cleisthenes notably commissioned the famous statues of the Tyrannicides. Background The two principal historical sources covering Harmodius and Aristogeiton are the ''History of the Peloponnesian War'' (VI, 56–59) by Thucydides, and '' The Constitution of the Athenians'' (XVIII) attribut ...

Callistratus Of Carthage
Callistratus of Carthage and his forty-nine companions were Christian martyrs executed at Rome during the Diocletianic persecution (303–311), now commemorated as saints in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Their hagiography, known from the compilation of Symeon the Metaphrast, contains fantastic elements.John F. Shean, ''Soldiering for God: Christianity and the Roman Army'' (Brill, 2010), p. 211. According to the hagiography, Callistratus was a native of Carthage and a member of the "Chalendon" ''cohors'' of the Roman army. He was caught praying by some pagan comrades and hauled before the military tribune, who ordered him to offer sacrifices to the pagan gods. He refused, was tortured and finally tied in a bag and thrown into the sea. He was rescued by a dolphin A dolphin is an aquatic mammal within the infraorder Cetacea.
