The Histories
Son of Maeandrius who ruled Samos as Polycrates' deputy, proclaimed equality with reservations, then resisted, provoked, and fled the Persian conquest.
So when the Persians brought Syloson back to Samos, no one raised a hand against them, but Maeandrius and those of his faction offered to evacuate the island under a flag of truce;
Now Samos was ruled by Maeandrius, son of Maeandrius, who had authority delegated by Polycrates.
but realizing that there were others in Lacedaemon from whom Maeandrius would get help by offering them the cups, he went to the ephors and told them it would be best for Sparta if this Samian stranger quit the country, lest he persuade Cleomenes himself or some other Spartan to do evil.
