Peisander of Laranda was a Greek epic poet of the 3rd century CE, active during the reign of Alexander Severus. A native of Laranda in Lycaonia, he is identified as the father of the 4th-century poet Peisander of Byzantium. No further biographical details are recorded.
His known work is the Heroikai Theogamiai, a mythological epic in 60 books now lost except for fragments. It narrated divine and heroic marriages from Zeus and Hera to Aphrodite and Anchises.
Peisander is a significant transitional figure in later Greek epic poetry. His lengthy, encyclopedic poem exemplifies the learned epic tradition of the Imperial period and directly influenced Nonnus of Panopolis. The work served as a source for later mythographic compilations and Byzantine scholarship.
