Megistias (Greek: Μεγιστίας, "the greatest one") or Themisteas ({{lang-el|Θεμιστέας}}) was a soothsayer from Acarnania who died in the Battle of Thermopylae.[1][2] He traced his lineage to Melampus. Despite knowing that death was certain, Megistias stayed and fought.[2] An inscription was written by Simonides of Ceos, a personal friend of Megistias, to honor him.[2][3]

In popular culture

In the 1962 movie The 300 Spartans, Megistias appears as a Spartan priest and soothsayer and friend of King Leonidas who, in addition to giving predictions, also acts as a physician for the Spartans at Thermopylae. Megistias was portrayed by Charles Fernley Fawcett.
