In
Greek mythology,
Laomedon (; ) was a
Trojan king, son of
Ilus, nephew of
Ganymede and
Assaracus, and father of
Priam,
Astyoche,
Lampus,
Hicetaon,
Clytius,
Cilla,
Proclia,
Aethilla,
Medesicaste, Clytodora, and
Hesione.
Tithonus is also described by most sources as Laomedon's eldest legitimate son; and most sources omit Ganymedes from the list of Laomedon's children, but indicate him as his uncle instead. Laomedon's possible wives are Placia, Strymo (or Rhoeo) and Leucippe; by the former he begot
Tithonus and by the latter King Priam (see
John Tzetzes'
Scholia in Lycophronem 18 (: "Priamus was the son of Leucippe, whereas Tithonus was the son of Rhoeo or Strymo, the daughter of Scamander")). He also had a son named
Bucolion by the nymph
Calybe, as recounted by
Homer in the
Iliad (6.22).
Dictys Cretensis (4.22) added
Thymoetes to the list of Laomedon's children.
