Antander

Antander (Greek: Ἄντανδρος - or Andro as he is called by the historian Orosius)[1] was a man of Syracuse, Magna Graecia, of the 3rd and 4th centuries BCE. He was the older brother of Agathocles, king of Syracuse,[2] and was a commander -- or strategos -- of the troops sent by the Syracusans to the relief of Crotona when it was besieged by the Bruttii tribe in 317.[3]
