Isander

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Isander (Ancient Greek: Ἴσανδρόν means "like a man") or Peisander, was a Lycian prince as the son of Bellerophon.

Family[]

Isander's mother was Philonoe, daughter of the King Iobates.[1] In some accounts, she was also known as ,[2] Anticleia,[3] or Cassandra.[4] Isander's siblings were Hippolochus (father of Glaucus) and Laodamia (also called Deidamia[5] or Hippodamia,[6] mother of Sarpedon by Zeus).[7]

Mythology[]

Isander was slain by Ares, as he fought against the "glorious" Solymi, a Lycian tribe.[8]
