Andron

Andron (Ancient Greek: Ἄνδρων) is the name of a number of different people in classical antiquity:

  • Andron of Alexandria, a writer whose work entitled The Years (Χρονικὰ) is referred to by Athenaeus around the late 2nd century BCE.[1]
  • Andron of Catania, an ancient semi-legendary dancer and music composer.
  • Andron of Ephesus, who wrote a work on the Seven Sages of Greece, which seems to have been titled Tripod (Τρίπους).[2][3][4][5][6]
  • Andron of Halicarnassus, a Greek historian who was mentioned by Plutarch in conjunction with Hellanicus.[7][8][9]
  • Andron of Teos, an ancient writer, and author of a work titled Circumnavigation (Περίπλους),[10] who is probably the same person as the one referred to by Strabo,[11] Stephanus of Byzantium, and others. He may also have been the same as the author of About Affinity (Περὶ Συγγενειῶν).[12][13]
  • Andron, an ancient sculptor, whose age and country are unknown. He was known to have made a statue of Harmonia, the daughter of Mars and Venus.[14]
