In Greek mythology, Poludamas or Polydamas (Greek: Πολυδάμας, -αντος) was a lieutenant and friend of Hector during the Trojan War. They were born on the same night. Since Homer, in the Iliad, makes no reference to his ancestry (except to note that he is the son of Panthous (Πάνθοος) and Phrontis (Φροντίς), he is apparently a commoner, or in any event not a member of the royal house of Troy.
