Medesicaste (Daughter of Laomedon)

Medesicaste, a daughter of Laomedon and thus a sister of Priam. Together with her sisters Aethilla and Astyoche, she was taken captive by the Greeks after the end of the Trojan War; the three sisters set fire to the Greek ships, causing the crew to remain and settle at the place they were staying at (either Italy or Thrace).
