Tisander
Appearance
In Greek mythology, Tisander (Ancient Greek: Τίσανδρος) or Tisandrus (Ancient Greek: Τίσανδρον) was a son of Jason and Medea and the younger brother of Alcimenes and Thessalus.[1]
Mythology
Tisander and Alcimenes were murdered in Medea's revenge plot against Jason, after he had abandoned her and gone to marry Glauce, the daughter of King Creon of Corinth.[2]
Sources differ over the number and names of Medea's children, varying between one son, Argos, and fourteen (seven daughters and seven sons):
