Kallisto the Bear was a legendary bear which inhabited the eastern region of Arkadia, Greece during the 5th century BCE.

During the Peloponnesian War, the bear was hunted down by the Spartan misthios, Kassandra, sometime between 431 and 422 BCE. Kassandra looted its pelt and returned it to Daphnae, the leader of the Daughters of Artemis.[1]

Trivia

  • In Greek mythology, Kallisto was the name of a nymph who was a daughter of King Lycaon of Arkadia. In the myth, Kallisto was seduced by Zeus who had taken the appearance of Artemis, becoming pregnant as a result. When her pregnancy was discovered, a furious Hera, who was the wife of Zeus, transformed Kallisto into a bear.
