Androsthenes (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδροσθένης; literally meaning: "Man's Strength") of Thasos, son of Callistratus, was one of the admirals of Alexander the Great.
He sailed as a trierarch with Nearchus, and was also sent by Alexander down the Euphrates to explore the coast of the Persian Gulf, skirting the coast of Arabia in a triacontor and sailing further than Archias of Pella.
[1][2] He wrote an account of this voyage, titled The Navigation of the Indian sea (''Ὁ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς παραπλοῦς).
