In Greek mythology, Alexanor (Ancient Greek: Ἀλεξάνωρ) was a son of Machaon, and
grandson of the Greek god Asclepius, who built to his grandfather a temple on the summit of
Titane in the territory of Sicyon.[1] Around it there were dwellings for the use of those who
came to solicit the aid of the god.[2] Alexanor himself too was worshiped there, and sacrifices
were offered to him, but only after sunset.[3]
