Thersander
In Greek mythology, the name Thersander (/θɜːrˈsændər, -ˈsɑːn-/; Ancient Greek: Θέρσανδρος "bold man" derived from θέρσος thersos "boldness, braveness" and ανδρος andros "of a man") refers to several distinct characters:
- Thersander, one of the Epigoni.[1]
- Thersander, a son of Sisyphus, brother of Glaucus, Ornytion and Almus.[2] His own sons were Haliartus and Coronus, eponyms of Haliartus and Coronea respectively,[3][4] and also Proetus, himself father of Maera who was known to have died a maiden.[5]
- Thersander, one of the Heracleidae, son of Agamedidas. His twin daughters Anaxandra and Lathria married the twin sons of Aristodemus, Procles and Eurysthenes.[6]
- Thersander of Crete, father, by Arethusa, of a son Hyllus (not to be confused with the son of Heracles). Hyllus was killed by Aeneas in the Trojan War.[7]
