Laodocus
In Greek mythology, the name Laodocus (/leɪˈɒdəkəs/; Ancient Greek: Λαόδοκος or Λαοδόκος means "receiving the people") or Leodocus (Λεωδόκος) may refer to:
- Laodocus, 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 Trojan prince and an illegitimate son of King Priam of Troy.[5]
- Laodocus, son of Antenor. Athena assumed his shape to persuade Pandarus to break the truce between the Greeks and the Trojans.[6] He is possibly the same as the Laodocus killed by Diomedes.[7]
- Laodocus, a warrior in the army of the Seven against Thebes, who won the javelin-throwing match at the funeral games of Opheltes.[8]
