Evander (or Euander) (Ancient Greek: Εὔανδρος, romanized: Eúandros), born in Phocis or Phocaea,[1] was the pupil and successor of Lacydes, and was joint leader (scholarch) of the Academy at Athens together with Telecles.
In the final ten years of Lacydes' life (c. 215-c. 205), Evander and Telecles had helped run the Academy due to Lacydes being seriously ill.
They continued running the Academy after the death of Lacydes, without formally being elected scholarchs.
On Telecles' death in 167/6 BC, Evander remained scholarch for a few more years.
