Antenor of Troy in the context of "Medon (mythology)"

Agenor (/əˈdʒiːnɔːr/; Ancient Greek: Ἀγήνωρ or Αγήνορι Agēnor; English translation: 'heroic, manly') was the name of the following Greek mythological characters:

• Agenor, son of Poseidon and king of Tyre.
• Agenor of Argos, son of either Ecbasus, Triopas, or Phoroneus.
• Agenor, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He married the Danaid Cleopatra, daughter of King Danaus of Libya either by the hamadryads Atlanteia or Phoebe. Agenor was killed along with his brothers, except Lynceus, by their wives during their wedding night at the behest of their father. Agenor was the son of Aegyptus by an Arabian woman and thus full brother of Istrus, Chalcodon, Chaetus, Diocorystes, Alces, Alcmenor, Hippothous, Euchenor and Hippolytus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre.
• Agenor, the betrothed of Andromeda, otherwise called Phineus.
• Agenor, son of King Pleuron and grandson of Aetolus.
• Agenor, one of the Niobids.
• Agenor, a warrior in the army of the Seven against Thebes. For trying to rescue Tages, his brother, who had been wounded in battle by Hypseus in the river, Agenor eventually was drowned.
• Agenor, son of Phegeus and murderer of Alcmaeon.
• Agenor, son of Antenor and a character in Homer's Iliad.
• Agenor, one of the sons of King Aeolus of Lipara, the keeper of the winds. He had five brothers namely: Periphas, Euchenor, Klymenos, Xouthos and Macareus, and six sisters: Klymene, Kallithyia, Eurygone, Lysidike, Kanake and an unnamed one. According to various accounts, Aeolus yoked in marriage his sons, including Agenor, and daughters in order to preserve concord and affection among them.
• Agenor, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. Euryalus, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
• Agenor, also one of the Suitors of Penelope from Zacynthus with other 43 wooers. He suffered the same fate as his above namesake.
• Agenor, son Areus, son of Ampyx. He was the father of Preugenes and paternal grandfather of Patreus, the founder of Patrae.
• Agenor, husband of Dioxippe and father of Sipylus, who unwittingly killed his mother.

In Greek mythology, there were several people named Melanippus (Ancient Greek: Μελάνιππος, romanized: Melánippos, lit. 'black horse'):

• Melanippus, one of the sons of Agrius and possibly Dia, daughter of King Porthaon of Calydon. Along with his brothers, except Thersites, he was killed by Diomedes.
• Melanippus or Menalippus, brother of Tydeus and thus possible son of Oeneus, king of Calydon and Periboea. He was accidentally slain by Tydeus during a hunt. In some accounts, the murdered brother of Tydeus was called Olenias.
• Melanippus, son of Perigune and Theseus, the father of Ioxus who, together with Ornytus, led a colony to Caria and became the ancestor of the family Ioxides.
• Melanippus, sometimes misspelled "Menalippus", son of Astacus (hence referred to by the patronymic Astacides in Ovid), defender of Thebes in Aeschylus' play Seven Against Thebes. In the play, he defended the Proitid gate against Tydeus. He killed two of the seven attacking champions, Mecisteus and Tydeus, but was killed by either Amphiaraus, or by Tydeus himself as he died. (In versions where Melanippus is killed by someone other than Tydeus, the slayer decapitates him and delivers his head to Tydeus). Tydeus broke Melanippus' skull open and consumed his brain, which disgusted Athena so that she gave up her intent of making Tydeus immortal. Herodotus relates how in historical times, Cleisthenes abolished the hero cult of Adrastus in Sicyon in favour of that of Melanippus.
• Melanippus, son of Hicetaon and a native of Percote. He was the brother of Thymoetes, Critolaus and possibly Antenor. Melanippus fought under Hector, wishing to avenge the death of his cousin Dolops, and was killed by Antilochus during the Trojan War.
• Melanippus, one of the 50 sons of Priam. His mother was a woman other than Hecuba. He fought in the Trojan War and was shot dead by Teucer. In some accounts, Melanippus was described to have a plume of horsehair like his brother Idaeus.
• Melanippus, yet another Trojan, who was killed by Patroclus.
• Melanippus, one of the Achaeans who fought at Troy. He was one of those who helped Odysseus carry the gifts at the point of reconciliation between Achilles and Agamemnon.
• Melanippus, son of Ares and Triteia, daughter of the sea-god Triton, founder of the city of Tritaia, which he named after his own mother.
• Melanippus, a young man of Patrae who was in love with Comaetho, but the parents on both sides were against their marriage. Melanippus and Comaetho met secretly in the temple of Artemis, where the girl served as priestess, and had sex there. The outraged goddess cursed the country with plague and famine; in order to put an end to the calamity, the inhabitants of Patrae were instructed by the oracle of Delphi to sacrifice both lovers to the goddess and, from then on, to sacrifice the handsomest young man and the most beautiful girl of the city each year, until a new strange deity is introduced in Patrae. The practice lasted until Eurypylus, son of Euaemon, on his way back from Troy, brought an image of Dionysus to Patrae.
• Melanippus, son of Helorus, leader of the Mysian contingent in the Trojan War, killed by Neoptolemus.
• Menalippus (misspelling of "Melanippus"? cf. #3 above), a son of Acastus. He, alongside his brother Pleisthenes and their servant Cinyras, was killed by Neoptolemus as they were hunting near the latter's grandfather Peleus' hideout, since Acastus and his family had been hostile towards Peleus.

In ancient Sicily, Melanippus was a hero of Agrigento alongside his lover Chariton. They plotted against the cruel tyrant Phalaris, but were denounced and tortured. However, their mutual love and their refusal to betray their friends as accomplices moved the tyrant, who dismissed them with great praise.

In Greek mythology, Aesyetes (/ɛˈsaɪɛtiːz/ eh-SY-eh-teez; Ancient Greek: Αἰσυήτης) was a Trojan hero and father of Alcathous. He was also given as the father of Assaracus and Antenor by Cleomestra. Aesyetes' tomb was the vantage point which Polites, son of Priam, used to scout the Greek camp during the Trojan War.

In Greek mythology, Antenor (Ancient Greek: Ἀντήνωρ Antḗnōr) may refer to two distinct characters:

• Antenor, husband of Theano and an Elder of Troy.
• Antenor, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Zacynthus along with other 43 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was killed by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.

In Greek mythology, Antheus (Ancient Greek: Ἀνθεύς derived from ἀνθέω antheō "to blossom, to bloom") may refer to:

• Antheus of Lyctus, son of Agelaus and a soldier in the army of Dionysus, killed by Deriades.
• Antheus, a youth of Halicarnassus loved and killed by Cleoboea (Philaechme).
• Antheus, the Thessalian son of Nomion and father of Aegypius by Bulis.
• Antheus, a warrior killed in the war of the Seven against Thebes.
• Antheus, a young son of Antenor and Theano, thus brother of Crino, Acamas, Agenor, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Helicaon, Iphidamas, Laodamas, Laodocus, Medon, Polybus, and Thersilochus. Antheus was beloved by both Paris and Deiphobus and accidentally killed by Paris during a game, as a result of which incident Paris had to flee to king Menelaus' court, from where he abducted Helen.
• Antheus, a companion of Aeneas reunited with him in Carthage after being separated during the storm, and later a participant in the war against Turnus.
• Antheus, surname of Dionysus in Anthea, Achaea.

In Greek mythology, Coön (Ancient Greek: Κόων, gen. Κόωνος), also known as Cynon (Κύνων), was the eldest son of Antenor and Theano. Like most of his brothers, he fought and fell in the Trojan War.

In Greek mythology, the name Iphidamas (Ancient Greek: Ἰφιδάμας, gen. Ἰφιδάμαντος) may refer to:

• Iphidamas, also known as Amphidamas, son of Aleus and counted as one of the Argonauts.
• Iphidamas (or Amphidamas), a son of Busiris killed by Heracles.
• Iphidamas, a son of Antenor and Theano, and the brother of Crino, Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Helicaon, Laodamas, Laodocus, Medon, Polybus, and Thersilochus. He was raised in Thrace by his maternal grandfather Cisseus, who sought to make him stay at home when the Trojan War broke out, by giving him his daughter in marriage for a bride price of a hundred cows and a thousand goats and sheep. Nevertheless, Iphidamas did leave for Troy the next day after the wedding. He led twelve ships, but left them at Percote and came to Troy by land. He confronted Agamemnon in battle, but his spear bent against the opponent's silver belt, whereupon Agamemnon killed Iphidamas with a sword and stripped him of his armor. Then, the Achaean king also fought and killed Iphidamas’ brother Coön, who attempted to avenge his death.
• Iphidamas, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.

Laodamas (/leɪˈɒdəməs/; Ancient Greek: Λᾱοδάμᾱς, romanized: Lāodámās, lit. 'tamer of the people') refers to five different people in Greek mythology.

• Laodamas, son of Eteocles, inherited Thebes from his father. In one version of the myth (different from the one recounted in Sophocles' Antigone), he was responsible for the deaths of his aunts Antigone and Ismene, whom he prosecuted for having buried Polynices. They sought refuge in the temple of Hera, but Laodamas set fire to it and thus killed them. During the battle of the Epigoni, he was killed by Alcmaeon after he killed Aegialeus. Other sources state that he survived and fled to the Encheleans in Illyria, and subsequently led an expedition to Thessaly.
• Laodamas, son of Antenor and Theano, thus brother of Crino, and numerous sons, including Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Helicaon, Iphidamas, Laodocus, Medon, Polybus and Thersilochus. Laodamas was a Trojan warrior killed by Ajax.
• Laodamas, a Lycian killed by Neoptolemus during the Trojan War.
• Laodamas, son of Hector and Andromache and brother of Astyanax. Unlike Astyanax, he was spared by the Greeks and stayed by his mother's side.
• Laodamas, a prince of Scheria as son of King Alcinous and Arete of the Phaecians. He was the brother of Nausicaa, Halius and Clytoneus. Alcinous gives Odysseus Laodamas's chair, "whence he bade his son give place, valiant Laodamas, who sat next him and was his dearest". He is the most handsome of the Phaeacians, and the best boxer in the games held in Odysseus's honor. He and his brothers were also the winners of the foot-racing contest. Laodamas asks Odysseus to join in the games. After Odysseus is rebuked by Euryalus, he challenges any of the Phaeacians save Laodamas. Laodamas and Halius are the best dancers among the Phaeacians.

In Greek mythology, the name Laodocus (/leɪˈɒdəkəs/; Ancient Greek: Λαόδοκος or Λαοδόκος means "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.
• Laodocus or Leodocus, one of the Argonauts, son of Bias and Pero, brother of Talaus and Areius.
• Laodocus, a warrior in the army of the Seven against Thebes, who won the javelin-throwing match at the funeral games of Opheltes.
• Laodocus or Ladocus, a prince of Tegea as son of King Echemus of Arcadia and Timandra, daughter of Tyndareus and Leda. The suburb Ladoceia in Arcadia was named after him.
• Laodocus, a Trojan prince and an illegitimate son of King Priam of Troy.
• Laodocus, son of Antenor and Theano, thus a brother of Crino, Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Helicaon, Iphidamas, Laodamas, Medon, Polybus and Thersilochus. Athena assumed Laodocus' shape to persuade Pandarus to break the truce between the Greeks and the Trojans. He is possibly the same as the Laodocus killed by Diomedes.
