Adranodorus

Adranodoros was the son-in-law of the Greek Sicilian king Hiero II of Syracuse in the 3rd century BC. His wife was Hiero's daughter, Demarata. He was one of the fifteen guardians named by Hiero to counsel Hiero's fifteen-year-old grandson and successor, Hieronymus of Syracuse, after Hiero died. Adranodoros dismissed the other guardians, saying that they were not needed, and became Hieronymos's chief counsellor. He encouraged Hieronymus to change the allegiance of Syracuse from Rome to Carthage, and connect himself with Hannibal.
