| | Laomedon was the son of Ilus and a king of Troy, two of his sons were Tithonus and Podarces (Priam) who was later to be king. | | | It was Laomedon who gave Troy (Ilion) its city walls, to build them, he persuaded Poseidon and Apollo, (who at that time had been banished from Mount Olympus for a year by Zeus, for not obeying his wishes), telling them he would reward them well. | | | The fearless Heracles fought and killed the sea-monster, releasing Hesione, but once again Laomedon broke his promise and refused Heracles the horses as reward. |
