In Greek mythology, a famous soothsayer and prophet who advised the Greeks during the Trojan War.
From ancient Greek 'Kalchas,' the name of a legendary figure in Homer's Iliad. The name's exact origin is debated, but it appears related to Greek words meaning 'to break' or possibly referring to strength.
Calchas was so famously accurate that when he predicted his own death at a particular place, he supposedly laughed himself to death when he survived past that point—ancient psychology joke!
