From Greek mythology, the daughter of Lycaon, the king of Arcadia? (or possibly a nymph?). Her name is derived from kalliste, meaning "most beautiful." A follower of Artemis, she took a vow to remain a virgin. But Zeus fell in love with her and disguised himself as Apollo in order to lure her into his embrace. Hera, Zeus' wife, then turned Callisto into a bear out of revenge. |
