	Laomedon of Mytilene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the death of Philip in 336 BC, Laomedon, in common with the others who had suffered on this occasion, was held by Alexander in the highest honour: he accompanied him to Asia, where, on account of his acquaintance with the Persian language, he was appointed to the charge of the captives.
		Laomedon was unable to offer any effectual resistance: he was made prisoner by Nicanor, and sent into Egypt, from whence, however, he managed to effect his escape, and join Alcetas in Pisidia.
		It is probable that he took part in the subsequent contest of Alcetas, Attalus, and the other surviving partizans of Perdiccas against Antigonus, and shared in the final overthrow of that party (320 BC), but his individual fate is not mentioned.

		Apart from Laomedon’s appointment as a trierarch in the Indus fleet (Indica, 18.4), the only other thing we know about him during the campaign years was that he spoke Persian (or perhaps Aramaic), and therefore was put in charge of prisoners (A 3.6.6).

		Laomedon was the brother of Erigyius, who plays a larger part in Alexander’s history.
		The brothers are mentioned as being both Macedonian and Mitylenean in the sources, so it is likely that their father was brought from Lesbos and settled in Macedonia by Philip, and the sons naturalised by their adopted country.
		Laomedon bribed his guards and escaped, at which point he disappears from the record, although it is possible that he died not that long afterwards (see Heckel, p.212).
