Laodocus
In Greek mythology, the name Laodocus (/leɪˈɒdəkəs/; Ancient Greek: Λαόδοκος or Λαοδόκος, lit. 'receiving the people') or Leodocus (Λεωδόκος) may refer to:
- Laodocus, the Aetolian son of Apollo and Phthia, brother of Dorus and Polypoetes; all three were killed by Aetolus, son of Endymion.[1]
- Laodocus or Leodocus,[2] one of the Argonauts, son of Bias and Pero, brother of Talaus and Areius.[3][4]
- Laodocus, a warrior in the army of the Seven against Thebes, who won the javelin-throwing match at the funeral games of Opheltes.[5]
- Laodocus or Ladocus, a prince of Tegea as son of King Echemus of Arcadia and Timandra, daughter of Tyndareus and Leda.[6][7] The suburb Ladoceia in Arcadia was named after him.[7]
- Laodocus, a Trojan prince and an illegitimate son of King Priam of Troy.[8]
- Laodocus, a Trojan son of Antenor[9] and possibly of Theano[10]. Athena assumed his shape to persuade Pandarus to break the truce between the Greeks and the Trojans.[11] According to one scholiast on the Iliad, Laodocus had a history of violating the law, which is why his argument is especially convincing to Pandarus.[12] He is possibly the same as the Laodocus killed by Diomedes.[13]
