Κάλλιππος ὁ Κορίνθιος
Callippus of Corinth
1 work

Callippus of Corinth was a Greek historian of the 2nd century CE. He is known solely from a single citation by the later author Athenaeus of Naucratis in the Deipnosophistae. His epithet indicates Corinth as his city of origin, and no further biographical details survive.

His only attested work is On the Festival of the Panathenaia in Athens. Athenaeus cites its second book for information on the Athenian Panathenaia festival. The work, now lost, was likely a local history or antiquarian treatise focused on the festival's customs.

Callippus exemplifies the many fragmentary Greek historians of the Roman Imperial period whose work persisted in later compilations. His citation shows his writing served as a source for Athenian religious antiquities. He represents the continued production of Greek local history and scholarship under Roman rule.
