Priam
by James Hunter
------------------
Priam was the son of Laomedon and was the king of Troy. He became king after Laomedon and all of Priam's brothers were killed by Heracles in the first sack of Troy. Priam himself was the father, by his wife Hecuba and other women, of fifty sons and many daughters, including Hector, Paris, and Cassandra. He unsuccessfully defended his city during the Trojan War, at the end of which Troy was sacked a second time and was finally destroyed.
During the Trojan War, Priam's son Hector was killed by the Greek hero Achilles. In one of the most moving scenes of the Iliad, Priam courageously entered the Greek camp by night and pleaded with Achilles to return Hector's body for burial. Priam himself was finally killed by Achilles' son, Neoptolemus, upon an altar of Zeus in the center of Troy.

Queen Hecuba (Hekuba) (Hekabe), daughter of Dymas
1Web site.
Hecuba (also Hekuba or Hekabe) was a Trojan queen in Greek mythology, daughter of Dymas. She was of Phrygian birth, and her mother (Eunoë) was said to be a daughter of the god of the River Sangarius, the principal river of ancient Phrygia. With the god Apollo, Hecuba had a son named Troilius. An oracle prophesied that Troy would not be defeated as long as Troilius reached the age of twenty alive. He and his sister, Polyxena, were ambushed and killed by Achilles during the Trojan War. Polydorus, Priam's youngest son by Hecuba, was sent with gifts of jewelry and gold to the court of King Polymestor to keep him safe during the Trojan War. The fighting grew vicious and Priam was frightened for the child's safety. After Troy fell, Polymestor threw Polydorus to his death to take the treasure for himself. Hecuba, though she was enslaved by the Achaeans when the city fell, eventually avenged her son. In another tradition, Hecuba went mad upon seeing the corpses of her children Polydorus and Polyxena. Dante described this episode, which he derived from Latin sources:
In Greek mythology, Helenus was the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. He was also the twin brother of the prophetess Cassandra.

Laomedon
by Ron Leadbetter
-------------------
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. Laomedon was also very well known for his blatant treachery.
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. After many months of hard work the walls were finished, the finest ever seen, but when Apollo and Poseidon asked for their reward, Laomedon refused to give them their payment and drove them away, hurling threats and insults towards the immortals. Poseidon and Apollo returned to Mount Olympus, as their year of banishment was complete, but the two gods were extremely angry at Laomedon's actions. To gain vengeance over Laomedon, Apollo sent a plague over the land, and Poseidon a sea-monster. Laomedon asked the advice of an oracle to rid his land of these hardships, the oracles reply was, Laomedon had to sacrifice his own daughter (Hesione) to the sea-monster. Laomedon without hesitation had Hesione chained to a rock, she lay trembling with fear, awaiting her grizzly end, to be devoured as sacrifice to this monster of the sea. As if by a miracle Heracles was in the vicinity, and pledged to save Hesione after Laomedon had promised him a team of matchless horses, which had been given by Zeus to his grandfather Tros. 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. Heracles, angered by this, killed Laomedon and his sons, but spared the youngest Podarces (swift-foot) in exchange for a beautiful veil which Hesione herself had embroidered with gold. Heracles then gave Hesione to his companion in arms Telamon who carried her away to Salamis in Greece. From that day on, Podarces became known as 'Priam' (which means "bought or "ransomed") and he became the most famous king of Troy. In Homer's Iliad, Priam is portrayed as an old man, grieving the misfortunes of the Trojans, and the death of many of his sons.
