Notes

Pandrosos or Pandrosus () was known in Greek myth as one of the three daughters of Cecrops I, the first king of Athens, and Aglaurus, daughter of King Actaeus.

== Family == Pandrosus' two sisters were Aglauros and Herse, and the three of them together are often referred to collectively as the Kekropidai after their father. Their brother was called Erysichthon who died without producing an heir to the throne. In one account, Pandrosus was by Hermes the mother of Ceryx rather than her sister Agraulus.
