Laomedon
In Greek mythology, Laomedon (Ancient Greek: Λαομέδων) 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. Laomedon was also very well known for his blatant treachery. He refused to pay Apollo and Poseidon after they built the walls of Troy. They set a plague and a sea-monster on Troy. Laomedon planned on sacrificing his daughter Hesione to Poseidon in the hope of appeasing him. Heracles rescued her at the last minute and killed the monster. Laomedon had promised them his magic horses as a reward, but when he broke his word, Heracles and his allies took vengeance by putting Troy to siege, killing Laomedon and all his sons save Podarces, who saved his own life by giving Heracles a golden veil Hesione had made.
