Antisthenes of Rhodes was an ancient Greek historian who lived c. 200 BCE. 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 of Rhodes, is spoken of in terms of high praise by Polybius. He wrote an account of the Battle of Lade and was, according to Polybius, a contemporary with the events he described.
