A nymph who was an attendant of Artemis and became the consort of Zeus.
Her son, Arkas (Arcas), became the ancestor of the Arkadians (Arcadians); Kallisto incurred the wrath of one of the Immortals (Artemis or Hera) and was turned into a bear; years later, Arkas was hunting and came upon his mother but before he could harm her Zeus turned Kallisto into the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear) and Arkas into the star Arcturus, i.e. the guardian of the bear.
