3564 Talthybius /tælˈθɪbiəs/ is a large Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 73 kilometers (45 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 15 October 1985, by American astronomer Edward Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station near Flagstaff, Arizona, in the United States.[1] The dark D-type asteroid belongs to the 50 largest Jupiter trojans and has a relatively long rotation period of 40.59 hours.[4] It was named after the Greek hero Talthybius, who was a herald during the Trojan War.[1]
