In Greek mythology, Lamedon (; Ancient Greek: Λαμέδων) also known as Laomedon, was the 18th king of Sicyon who reigned for 40 years.[1]
Lamedon was the younger son of King Coronus the Sicyonian, and brother to King Corex.[2] He was married Pheno, daughter of the Athenian Clytius, and had by her a daughter Zeuxippe.
After his older brother died without issue, Lamedon was to succeed him, but the kingdom was seized by Epopeus.[3] However, Epopeus died of a wound he had received in the battle against Nycteus, and Lamedon took over as his heir; according to Pausanias, Lamedon was responsible for giving Antiope up to Lycus.[4]
Later, when Lamedon was engaged in a military conflict against Archander and Architeles (sons of Achaeus and the husbands of the Danaïdes Scaea and Automate[5]), he had Sicyon of Attica for an ally. In reward for Sicyon's assistance, Lamedon gave him Zeuxippe to wife and pronounced him his successor.[6]
