Who is Callias III?
Callias was an ancient Athenian aristocrat and political figure. He was the son of Hipponicus by the former wife of Cleinias, daughter of Megacles, an Alcmaeonid and the third member of one of the most distinguished Athenian families to bear the name of Callias. He was regarded as infamous for his extravagance and profligacy.
Historians sometimes designate him "Callias III" to distinguish him from his grandfather Callias II and from his grandfather's grandfather Callias.
