The correct spelling of this name is ANAXANDRA.
Anaxandra was a Greek painter working in the 220s B.C.E., the daughter and disciple of Nealkes, a painter of mythological and genre scenes in Sicyon. She is mentioned by Clement of Alexandria, the second-century C.E. Christian theologian, in a section of his Stromateis (Miscellanies) entitled “Women as Well as Men Capable of Perfection.” Clement cites a lost work of the Hellenistic scholar Didymus (first century B.C.E.) as his source.
