Evander (orEuander) (Ancient Greek:Εὔανδρος,romanized: Eúandros), born inPhocis orPhocaea,^[1] was the pupil and successor ofLacydes, and was joint leader (scholarch) of theAcademy atAthens together withTelecles.

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. Evander himself was succeeded by his pupilHegesinus. Concerning the opinions and writings of this philosopher nothing is known except that he was anAcademic Skeptic.^[2]

SeveralPythagoreans of the name of Evander, who were natives ofCroton,Metapontum, andLeontini, are mentioned byIamblichus,^[3] and aCretan Evander occurs inPlutarch.^[4]
