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.
