Asander Asander ( in Greek Άσανδρoς ; lived 4th century BC ) was the son of Philotas and brother of Agathon . Alexander the Great ( 336 – 323 BC ) appointed him in 334 BC governor of Lydia and the other parts of the satrapy of Spithridates , and also placed under his command an army strong enough to maintain the Macedonian authority . In the beginning of the year 328 BC Asander and Nearchus led a number of Greek mercenaries to Alexander , who was then staying at Zariaspa . In the division of the empire after the death of Alexander , in 323 BC , Asander obtained Caria for his satrapy , in which he was afterwards confirmed by Antipater . At the command of Antipater he fought against Attalus and Alcetas , both partizans of Perdiccas , but was conquered by them . In 317 BC , while Antigonus was engaged in Persia and Media , Asander increased his power in Asia Minor , and was undoubtedly a member of the confederacy which was formed by Ptolemy , ruler of Egypt , and Cassander , ruler of Macedonia , against Antigonus . In 315 BC , when Antigonus began his operations against the confederates , he sent one Ptolemy , a nephew of his , with , an army to relieve Amisus , and to expel from Cappadocia the army with which Asander had invaded that country ; but as Asander was supported by Ptolemy and Cassander , he maintained himself until 313 BC , when Antigonus himself marched against him , and compelled him to conclude a treaty by which he was bound to surrender his whole army , to restore the Greek towns on the coast to freedom , to regard his satrapy of Caria as the gift of Antigonus , and to give his brother Agathon as hostage . But after a few days Asander broke this humiliating treaty : he contrived to get his brother out of the hands of Antigonus , and sent ambassadors to Ptolemy and Seleucus for assistance . Antigonus indignant at these acts , immediately sent out an army to restore the Greek towns to freedom by force of arms . Caria too appears to have been conquered , and Asander from this time disappears from history .
