Isander's mother was Philonoe, daughter of the King Iobates.[1] In some accounts, she was also known as Alkimedousa,[2] Anticleia,[3] Pasandra or Cassandra.[4] Isander's siblings were Hippolochus (father of Glaucus) and Laodamia (also called Deidamia[5] or Hippodamia,[6] mother of Sarpedon by Zeus).[7]
Isander was slain by Ares, as he fought against the "glorious" Solymi, a Lycian tribe.[8] His misfortune was said to be in compensation of the previous victories of his father Bellerophon.[9]
