Antisthenes of Rhodes (Greek: Ἀντισθένης ὁ Ῥόδιος) was a Greek historian who lived c. 200 BC. He took an active part in the political affairs of his country, and wrote a history of his own time, which, notwithstanding his bias towards his native island, is spoken of in terms of high praise by Polybius. He wrote an account of the Battle of Lade (201 BC) and was, according to Polybius, a contemporary with the events he described. Plutarch mentions an Antisthenes who wrote a work called Meleagris, of which the third book is quoted; and Pliny speaks of an Antisthenes who wrote on the pyramids.
