Aristander
Ἀρίστανδρος
(Ἀρίστανδρος), the most celebrated soothsayer of Alexander the Great. He survived the king. (Arrian, Arr. Anab. 3.2, 4.4, &c.; Curt. 4.2, 6, 13, 15, 7.7; Plut. Alex. 25; Aelian, Ael. VH 12.64; Artemid. 1.31, 4.24.) The work of Aristander on prodigies, which is referred to by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 17.25. s. 38; Elenchus, lib. viii. x. xiv. xv. xviii.) and Lucian (Philopat. 100.21), was probably written by the soothsayer of Alexander.
