CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Mythical, Greek hero from Achaea PHTHIOTIS in THESSALY, the son or grandson of ACHAEUS. Archander went to ARGOS with his brother Architeles, where they each married one of the daughters of DANAUS, who had fled EGYPT (Paus. 7.1.6). Herodotus mentions Archander as the possible derivation of the name of a city, ARCHANDROPOLIS in the northwestern Nile DELTA of Egypt (2.98.2).
