Anaxandrĭdes

（Ἀναξανδρίδης).

1.

A king of Sparta, who reigned from about B.C. 560 to 520. Having a barren wife whom he would not divorce, the ephors made him take with her a second. By her he had Cleomenes; and after this, by his first wife, Dorieus, Leonidas, and Cleombrotus.

2.

A Rhodian Greek poet of the Middle Comedy, who flourished in B.C. 376. He is said to have been the first to make love affairs the theme of comedy. His plays are said to have been characterized by sprightliness and humour, but only fragments of them are now in existence.
