Tisandros ( Greek Τίσανδρος ) is a figure in Greek mythology . In the variant of the myth handed down by Diodorus , he is one of the three sons of Jason and Medea .
According to Diodor's report, which goes back to Dionysios Skytobrachion , Tisandros was born as the third and youngest son of Jason and Medea in Corinth , where his parents live after their exile from Iolkos . Also in Corinth his older brothers, the twins were Thessalos and Alkimenes born. After ten years in exile, Jason leaves Medea to marry the king's daughter Glauke . Medea then poisons Glauke, kills two of her three sons (Thessalus survived), whom she buried in the temple of Hera , and flees Corinth to Thebes . Jason decides to commit suicide . The Corinthians ask the Oracle of Delphi how to deal with the children's bodies, and the Pythia instructs them to render heroic honors to their tomb.
