Epander was one of the Indo-Greek kings, and ruled from around 95 to 90 BC. Very little is known of him, but the findplaces of his coins seem to indicate that he ruled in the area of Punjab. The style of his coins, with a fighting Athena on the reverse, suggests that he claimed to be a descendant of Menander I
