Agesander
or AGESILA'US (Ἀγήσανδρος or Ἀγεσίλαος), from ἄγειν and ἀνὴρ or λαός, a surname of Pluto or Hades, describing him as the god who carries away all men. (Callim. Hymn. in Pallad. 130, with Spanheins's note; Hesych. sub voce Aeschyl. apud Athen. iii. p. 99.) Nicander (apud Athen. xv. p. 684) uses the form Ἡγεσίλαος.
