Callias of Chalcis
Callias of Chalcis was a Euboean politician who in the 340s BCE sought to unite Euboea under the leadership of Chalcis, reviving the Euboean League. He moved between alliances with Philip II of Macedon and Athens, and with Athenian help drove out pro-Macedonian tyrants on the island in 341 BCE. He was honoured with Athenian citizenship.
