Laodamia (or Hippodamia),[1] daughter of Bellerophon and Philonoe, sister of Hippolochus and Isander and the mother of Sarpedon by Zeus. She was shot by Artemis (that is, died a sudden, instant death) one day when she was weaving.[2][3] Diodorus Siculus called her Deidamia, the wife of Evander, who was a son of Sarpedon the elder and by her father of Sarpedon the younger.[4] Xanthus was also called the father of Sarpedon according to one account.[5]
Laodamia, daughter of Acastus and Astydameia and the wife of Protesilaus. When her husband fell in the Trojan War, Laodamia committed suicide rather than be without him.[6][7][8]
Laodamia or Leaneira,[9] an Arcadian queen as the wife of King Arcas by whom she became the mother of Elatus, Apheidas and Triphylus. Laodamia was the daughter of King Amyclas of Sparta and Diomede, daughter of Lapithes.[10] Through this parentage, she was considered the sister of Argalus,[11] Cynortes, Hyacinthus,[12] Polyboea[13] and, in other versions, of Daphne.[14]
Laodamia, daughter of Alcmaeon, wife of Peleus and mother by him of Polydora.[15] But see Antigone.
Laodamia, wife of Anticlus.[16] Her husband was one of the men who were hiding in the Trojan Horse.[17]
Laodamia or Laodice, alternate name for Iphthime, daughter of Icarius of Sparta and Asterodia, daughter of Eurypylus.[18] She was the sister of Amasichus, Phalereus, Thoon, Pheremmelias and Perilaos.[19]
Laodamia or Arsinoe, nurse of Orestes. She saved his life by sending him to Strophius after the murder of Agamemnon, whereas Aegisthus killed her own son, taking him for Orestes.[20][21]
Laodamia, alternate name for Hippodamia (wife of Pirithous) occurring in a red-figure vase painting.[22]
