Notes about Themiste "Themis" Queen of Dardania

ADAM & EVE GENEALOGY:
Notes for KING OF TROY LAOMEDON:
Laomedon  

On the Trojan line, Ilus who was the founder and king of Troy, married Eurydice, and became the father of Laomedon. As it was said before, his daughter Themiste married his nephew, Capys (of the Dardanian line). His son Laomedon succeeded Ilus. Of the two royal lines, those of Troy became more powerful than the older Dardanian line, under the rule of Laomedon.

The new king married Strymo, Placia or Leucippe. Whichever woman he married, he was the father of Podarces (Priam) and many other sons. He had at least one daughter, Hesione. His son Tithonus was abducted by Eos, goddess of dawn, and taken to Ethiopia, Syria. The goddess bore him a son Memnon.

Laomedon was known as the king, for his arrogance and impiety and who refused to honors his promises. Poseidon and Apollo, possibly punished for rebelling against Zeus, had to work for one year for a mortal. The two gods disguised as builders, was hired to work alongside with a mortal, Aeacus, son of Zeus and Aegina, (father of Peleus and Telamon), to build the walls of Troy. Poseidon and Apollo wanted the vine of gold as payment for their work. Laomedon agreed. After the gods finished building the wall, Laomedon refused to pay their wages for their services. Apollo caused the plague within the city, while Poseidon send a sea-monster to ravage the Trojan countryside.

The seers told Laomedon, that land would be spare, if the king sacrifice his daughter to the sea-monster. Chaining his daughter, Hesione and waited for monster to arrive. Heracles, who was performing the ninth labour (fetching the girdle of Hippolyte), stopped at Troy. Learning what was about to happen, Heracles wanted Laomedon's immortal horses in exchange for rescuing his daughter. Laomedon agreed. After killing the monster, again Laomedon refused to pay. Heracles angry at the Trojan king betrayal on his promise, planned to return with an army, after he finish performing the twelve labours.

Heracles raised an army in Tiryns, and the Argonaut hero, Telamon of Salamis, son of Aeacus. After capturing the city, Laomedon was killed, along with many of his sons, and Heracles gave Heisone to Telamon as concubine. She allowed Hesione to ransomed one captive. Hesione ransomed her youngest brother Podarces, with her veil. Podarces became king of Troy, and changed his name to Priam (Ransom).
