inGreek mythology,Timandra (Ancient Greek:Τιμάνδρα) is a widow woman who became the lover ofAegypius.

Her sonNeophron disapproved of the affair, so he seduced Aegypius' own motherBulis. He brought Bulis into his house, made sure his own mother was out, and then arranged for Aegypius and Bulis to sleep together, unsuspecting of the other's true identity. The moment they found out the trick, Aegypius prayed that he would vanish, andZeus turned all four into birds. Timandre changed into anaegithalos (αἰγίθηλος),^[1] now the word for "long-tailed tit", but the Greek bird may have also been any of theParidae.^[2]
