Laodocus
In Greek mythology, the name Laodocus (/leɪˈɒdəkəs/; Greek: Λαόδοκος/Λαοδόκος) or Leodocus (Λεωδόκος) may refer to:
- Laodocus, son of Apollo and Phthia, brother of Dorus and Polypoetes; all three were killed by Aetolus.[1]
- Laodocus, one of the Argonauts, son of Bias and Pero, brother of Talaus and Areius.[2][3][4]
