Hegesandra

In Greek mythology, Hegesandra or Hegesandre was a Spartan princess as the daughter of King Amyclas[1] and possibly Diomede, daughter of Lapithes. She was probably the sister of Argalus,[2] Cynortes,[3] Hyacinthus,[4] Polyboea,[5] and Laodamia[6] (or Leanira[7]).

Hegesandra married Argeius, son of King Pelops of Pisa. The couple had 3 sons: Melanion, Alector and Boethoos.[8]
