Timandra (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Timandra (Ancient Greek: Τιμάνδρα) was a Spartan princess and later on, queen of Arcadia.
Family
Timandra was one of the daughters of King Tyndareus and Leda, daughter of King Thestius of Pleuron, Aetolia. Thus, she was the sister of the twins Castor and Pollux, Helen, Clytemnestra, Phoebe and Philonoe. Timandra married Echemus, the king of Arcadia and bore him a son Ladocus. By Phyleus, son of King Augeas of Elis, she was one of the possible mothers of Meges, an Achaean Leader during the Trojan War. Timandra might be the mother of Phyleus’ daughter Eurydameia who begot Euchenor and Cleitus by the seer Polyeidus.
