  Ictinus and Callicrates with Phidias - Great Buildings Online
The ancient Greek contemporaries Ictinus, Callicrates, and Phidias, are jointly credited in the creation of the Parthenon, in Athens, during the rule of Pericles, circa -440.
Although nothing is known about his life or artistic personality, Iktinos, along with Kallikrates, acted as the architect of the Parthenon, according to Plutarch.
There has been some suggestion that Kallikrates might have been the official city architect of Athens, and that he was more concerned with the technical and managerial aspects of architecture than with formal design.

  Violet Books: About Ayesha
Kallikrates, the object of her desire, resists her but is overwhelmed by the power of her will.
This war between the spirit & the flesh meant that, "The spirit of Kallikrates was always [hers], having been given to [her] from the beginning, but with his flesh it was otherwise, & perchance while he is in the flesh it will so remain" (Wisdom 141).
Her final appeal, the one that anchors Kallikrates to her in spite of Ayesha's terrible power, is to the blood of their dead son.

At least, as her story shows, it was vanity, rather than love of the beauteous Greek, Kallikrates, that stained the hands of She with his innocent blood and, amongst other ills, brought upon her the fearful curse of deathlessness while still inhabiting a sphere where Death is lord of all.

And she cast eyes of love upon thy father, Kallikrates, and would have slain me, and taken him to husband, but he loved me and feared her, and would not.
Then did she swear to make thy father undying even as she is, if he would but slay me, and give himself to her, for me she could not slay because of the magic of my own people that I have, and that prevailed thus far against her.

Posidippus and the admiral: Kallikrates of Samos in the Milan Epigrams
His achievements and faithful devotion to the crown were such that Ptolemy chose him to be the first eponymous priest of the dynastic cult of Alexander and the Theoi Adelphoi in 272/1 (P.Hibeh II 199.ii.12), a signal honor.
The important point is not that Kallikrates simply moved between these worlds, but that he actively sought to bind them together, establishing links from one to the other, integrating his adoptive homeland into the cultural fabric of old Greece.

Each descendant of Kallikrates has passed this document on to his son; but no one has found the city and avenged the millenia-old murder.
Ayesha is the same woman who murdered Kallikrates and has waited two thousand years for him to return to her.And when she sees Leo, an exact double for Kallikrates, she knows he has come back.
She and Allan is a weak entry in the series—a whole new theology is presented for the inhabitants of Kor; there's lots of unnecessary comic relief; and the last few chapters get mired in a morass of mystical mumbo-jumbo that taxes even the most determined reader.

It has been conveyed to the editor by a Cumberland physician, who recounted the death of Holly in unusual circumstances, and reported that Holly had asked him to send the mss and the sistrum by which it was accompanied to the editor, for eventual publication.
Leo is distraught at losing his foster son, and Ayesha mourns over Leo's corpse that night, not she had done over Kallikrates 2,000 years earlier, but more as a mother over her infant.

Holly's first sight of the robed figure of Ayesha reminds him of "a corpse in its graveclothes." The terrified Job describes "a corpse a-coming… down the passage" as She approaches with her eerily graceful walk.
Her palace is part of the burial and torture chambers of dead Kor, in which she preserves the body of Kallikrates, the Greek whom she murdered two thousand years ago because he loved another woman.
When Ayesha has healed his wounds and used her powers to dispose of Ustane, she reveals that the source of her ageless beauty lies in a flame springing from the depths of the Earth.

 Greek Architecture: The Parthenon & The Erechtheum
During the rule of Pericles, the Parthenon was constructed in the golden age beginning in 447 BC, and it was not completed until 438 BC.
Mnesicle had to consider rough terrain that was unevenly leveled, previous buildings, and how to accommodate several shrines which Iktinus and Kallikrates did not have configure when developing the Parthenon.
This temple was an extraordinary, ionic, white marble building that was built to house the shrines of two gods, numerous religious icons, and uphold the mythology of the origins or Athens (Tanka 14).

See,' and she slid to her knees, and drew the white corsage still farther down her ivory bosom--`see, here beats my heart, and there by thy side is a knife, heavy, and long, and sharp, the very knife to slay an erring woman with.
Strike, and strike home!--so shalt thou be satisfied, Kallikrates, and go through life a happy man, because thou hast paid back the wrong, and obeyed the mandate of the past.'
I instantly informed Ayesha that in England `blasting' was not an amusement that could be indulged in with impunity, and that any such attempt would meet with the consideration of the law and probably end upon a scaffold.

 She by H Rider Haggard
Kallikrates was a priest and not entitled to a cartouche, which was the prerogative of Egyptian royalty, though he might have inscribed his name or title upon an oval.- EDITOR.
This Kallikrates (probably, in the Greek fashion, so named after his grandfather) evidently made some attempt to start on the quest, for his entry, written in very faint and almost illegible uncial, is, "I ceased from my going, the gods being against me. Kallikrates to his son." Here it is also: -
To the right of this were the initials "J. V.," and below came a variety of Greek signatures, in uncial and cursive character, and what appeared to be some carelessly executed repetitions of the sentence "to paidi" (to my son), showing that the relic was religiously passed on from generation to generation.

 Ancient Alexandria Abstracts -- October 11-12, 2002
Kallikrates of Samos was supreme commander of the Ptolemaic fleet for some twenty years under Ptolemy II Philadelphus, founded the cult of Arsinoe-Aphrodite at Cape Zephyrion, and was granted the signal honor by Philadelphus of being first eponymous priest of the cult of Alexander and the Theoi Adelphoi.
Thus we see now that his link with the Theoi Adelphoi extended to a lavish dedication in their honor at Delphi to commemorate his chariot victory at the Pythian games (XI 33 - XII 7).
Finally, it is now clearer than ever that Posidippus was epigrammatist par excellence to the Ptolemaic elite and that, in commissioning works from him, Kallikrates emulated the Ptolemies themselves.

 Iktinos
Iktinos (also Iktious or Ictinus) was an architect active in the mid 5th century BC, who, together with Kallikrates designed the Parthenon(447?432 B.C.) in Athens, Greece.
Little is known about the life of Iktinos, most contemporary information being based on the writings of Plutarch.

Time hath no power against Identity, though sleep the merciful hath blotted out the tablets of our mind, and with oblivion sealed the sorrows that else would hound us from life to life, stuffing the brain with gathered griefs till it burst in the madness of uttermost despair.
In a couple of minutes more this too had vanished, and, wonderful as it may seem, it is a fact that on the stone bench that had supported the mortal remains of the ancient Kallikrates for so many centuries there was now nothing to be seen but a few handfuls of smoking white powder.

Even in those poems, then, in which Kallikrates is not actually named, his shrine remains true to that project which, as we have seen, the admiral seems to have set himself, namely to mediate between old world and new.
Situated on the windswept frontier between those worlds, simultaneously a point of convergence and a clearinghouse, it continued to serve as a conduit through which political/cultural traditions of Greece could enter into Egypt, and from which the Ptolemies could broadcast their own peculiar contributions to that legacy.
