CALLISTO, in Greek mythology, an Arcadian nymph, daughter of Lycaon and
companion of Artemis. She was transformed into a bear as a penalty for
having borne to Zeus a son, Arcas, the ancestor of the Arcadians. Hera,
Zeus and Artemis are all mentioned as the authors of the transformation.
Arcas, when hunting, encountered the bear Callisto, and would have shot
her, had not Zeus with swift wind carried up both to the skies, where he
placed them as a constellation. In another version, she was slain by
Artemis. Callisto was originally only an epithet of the Arcadian Artemis
herself.

See Apollodorus iii. 8; Ovid, _Metam._ ii. 381-530; R. Franz, _De
Callistus fabula_ (1890), which deals exhaustively with the various
forms of the legend.

CALLISTRATUS, Alexandrian grammarian, flourished at the beginning of the
2nd century B.C. 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
[Greek: Summikta] used by the later lexicographers, and of a treatise on
courtesans (Athenaeus iii. 125 B, xiii. 591 D). He is not to be confused
with Callistratus, the pupil and successor of Isocrates and author of a
history of Heraclea in Pontus.

See R. Schmidt, _De Callistrato Aristophaneo_, appended to A. Nauck's
_Aristophanis Byzantii Fragmenta_ (1848); also C.W. Muller, _Fragmenta
Historicorum Graecorum_, iv. p. 353 note.

CALLISTRATUS, an Athenian poet, only known as the author of a hymn in
