Medon (mythology) in the context of "Glaucus (mythology)"

In Greek mythology, the name Crino (/ˈkraɪnoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Κρινώ means "white lily") may refer to:

• Crino, one of the many consorts of King Danaus of Libya, mother of the Danaïdes Callidice, Oeme, Celaeno and Hyperippe. These daughters wed and slayed their cousin-husbands, sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt and Hephaestine during their wedding night. According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all of his progeny by a single woman, Europe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he married his cousin Melia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.
• Crino, daughter of Antenor and Theano, and the sister of Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Helicaon, Iphidamas, Laodamas, Laodocus, Medon, Polybus, and Thersilochus. Pausanias mentions a painting of her by Polygnotus, where she is portrayed standing next to her father, with a baby in her arms.

In Greek mythology, Iphianassa (/ˌɪfiəˈnæsə/; Ancient Greek: Ίφιάνασσα Īphianassa means 'strong queen' or 'rule strongly') is a name that refers to several characters.

• Iphianassa, one of the 50 Nereids, marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.
• Iphianassa, consort of King Endymion of Elis and mother of Aetolus. The wife of Endymion was otherwise known as Asterodia, Chromia, Hyperippe or a nameless Naiad nymph.

• Iphianassa, a Mycenaean princess as the daughter of King Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, perhaps the same as Iphigenia.
• Iphianassa, mother of Menalces by Medon of Cilla. Her son was killed by Neoptolemus.

Codrus (/ˈkɒdrəs/; or /ˈkoʊdrəs/; Greek: Κόδρος, Kódros) was the last of the semi-mythical Kings of Athens (r. ca 1089–1068 BC). He was an ancient exemplar of patriotism and self-sacrifice. He was succeeded by his son Medon, who it is claimed ruled not as king but as the first Archon of Athens. He was said to have traced his descent to the sea-God Poseidon through his father Melanthus.

In Greek mythology, Strophius (/ˈstroʊfiəs/; Ancient Greek: Στρόφιος means "slippery fellow, twister") was the name of the following personages:

• Strophius, son of Crisus, was a King of Phocis, husband of the sister of Agamemnon (whose name was either Anaxibia, Astyocheia or Cydragora) and, by her, father of Pylades and Astydameia. When Orestes was hiding from his murderous mother, Clytemnestra, Strophius hid him. During this time, Orestes and Pylades became great friends.

• Antheus of Lyctus, son of Agelaus and a soldier in the army of Dionysus, killed by Deriades.

• Antheus, the Thessalian son of Nomion and father of Aegypius by Bulis.

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, Helicaon or Helikaon (Ancient Greek: Ἑλικάων) was a Trojan warrior and son of the elder Antenor and the priestess Theano. He was the brother of Crino, including Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Hypsipylus, Iphidamas, Laodamas, Laodocus, Medon, Polybus, and Thersilochus.

Helicaon's wife Laodice, daughter of Priam, fell in love with Acamas.

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.

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.
