Callisthenes of Olynthus (; Greek: Καλλισθένης; c. 360 – 327 BCE) was a well-connected Greek historian in Macedon, who accompanied Alexander the Great during his Asiatic expedition. The philosopher Aristotle was Callisthenes's great uncle.Career
Through his great-uncle's influence, Callisthenes was later appointed to attend Alexander the Great on his Asiatic expedition as the official historian.During the first years of Alexander's campaign in Asia, Callisthenes showered praises upon the Macedonian conqueror.  As the king and army penetrated further into Asia, however, Callisthenes's tone began to change.  He began to sharply criticize Alexander's adoption of Persian customs, with special scorn for Alexander's growing desire that those who presented themselves before him perform the servile ceremony of proskynesis, a physical act of submission. In the end, Alexander did not continue the practice.
