Evander - Mythology. Roman Evander was the name of a minor Greek deity from Arcadia whose history took on mortal details when he fled Greece for Italy. Evander was the son of the Greek god Hermes and the Nymph Carmenta. He and his mother were banished from Greece for killing his stepfather. They settled in Italy long before the Trojan hero Aeneas is believed to have arrived there. Evander built a palace on the hill on the Tiber River that would become the Palatine Hill. He was a kind ruler and taught the native people music, religion, and, most notably, writing. Some scholars believe Roman poets of the second and first centuries b.c. invented Evander to create a link between Roman and Greek traditions.
