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.[1]
- Laodocus or Leodocus,[2] one of the Argonauts, son of Bias and Pero, brother of Talaus and Areius.[3][4]
- Laodocus, a warrior in the army of the Seven against Thebes, who won the javelin-throwing match at the funeral games of Opheltes.[5]
- Laodocus or Ladocus, a prince of Tegea as son of King Echemus of Arcadia and Timandra, daughter of Tyndareus and Leda.[6][7] The suburb Ladoceia in Arcadia was named after him.[7]
- Laodocus, a Trojan prince and an illegitimate son of King Priam of Troy.[8]
- Laodocus, son of Antenor[9] and Theano, thus a brother of Crino,[10] Acamas,[11][12] Agenor,[13][14] Antheus,[15] Archelochus,[16][17] Coön,[18] Demoleon,[19] Eurymachus,[20] Glaucus,[21] Helicaon,[22] Iphidamas,[23] Laodamas,[24][25] Medon,[26] Polybus[13][27] and Thersilochus.[26] Athena assumed Laodocus' shape to persuade Pandarus to break the truce between the Greeks and the Trojans.[28] He is possibly the same as the Laodocus killed by Diomedes.[29]
