Kekaumenos (Greek: Κεκαυμένος) is the family name of the otherwise anonymous Byzantine author of the Strategikon, a manual on military and household affairs composed c. 1078. He was apparently of Graeco-Armenian origin and the grandson of the doux of Hellas. Despite relevant suppositions, there exists no concrete evidence that he is the famous 11th century general Katakalon Kekaumenos, or his son.
His father-in-law was Nikulitzas Delphinas, a lord of Larissa who took part in the Vlach revolt in 1066.[1]
