Archander () was a son of Achaeus and brother of Architeles. Together with his brother he carried on a war against the king Lamedon.Pausanias, Description of Greece, 2.6 He married Scaea, daughter of Danaus, and settled in Argos. He named his son Metanastes (Μετανάστης), meaning settler/migrant.Pausanias, Description of Greece, 7.1.6
According to one tradition the Achaeans in Peloponnesus took this name because Archander and his brother acquired such influence at Argos that they called the people Achaeans after their father Achaeus.Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854), Achaei
According to ancient writers, a city in Egypt called "city/town of Archander" (Ἀρχάνδρου πόλις) or "Archandroupolis" (Ἀρχανδρούπολις), most likely took its name from this Archander. The city was close to Anthylla.Herodotus, The Histories, 2.98Stephanus of Byzantium, Ethnica, 467Perseus Encyclopedia, Archander
