Theochrestus () of Cyrene won a victory at Olympic games in the four-horse chariot race, and his grandfather of the same name had previously won as well, while his father won a victory at the Isthmian Games, as recorded by an inscription and reported by Pausanias, though the exact Olympiad is unknown. He bred horses according to the traditional Libyan manner.Pausanias, Description of Greece, 6.12.7A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology, Theochrestus
A person of the same name is quoted by the Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius as the author of a work on Libya; from the subject of the book, we may reasonably infer that he was a native and may have been the same as one of the Olympic victors.
Pliny the Elder in Natural History mentions a Theochrestus as an authority on the origin of amber, which he believed was washed up by the Ocean on the capes of the Pyrenees.Pliny the Elder, The Natural History, 37.11
