Leandra of Syllabus was the grandmother of Iolaus. Hephaestus believed she bore a resemblance to Aphrodite whom he loved. When Hephaestus asked Leandra to marry him, she declined and the god placed a curse on Syllabus. The village disappeared for fifty years. When it reappeared, Leandra agreed to marry Hephaestus if he would lift the curse but she did not have to as Aphrodite fell in love with him and they became a couple.
