About Laodice
Laodice at Troy
This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please improve this section if you can. (October 2009)
Telephus assured the Trojans that the horse was not bad and convinced them to let the horse into Troy.
Laodice went with Eurypylus and Telephus to Troy although Telephus did not fight. Laodice sneaked into Acamas' bed and she committed adultery. At the fall of Troy Laodice was sucked into a chasm in the Earth.
She was the fairest daughter of Priam of Troy and Hecuba. She became the wife of Telephus, king of Mysia, who was the son of Heracles. According to Apollodorus, after the destruction of Troy, she was "swallowed up by the earth," (Bibliotheca, 11.5.23); when Telephus came to fight the Greeks off and defend Troy. As they set foot on Asia Minor, Helicaon forced her to marry him and was going to drown their six-year-old son Eurypylus in Xanthos' Lake, but Telephus returned just in time. Telephus decapitated Helicaon and had the latter's face engraved in all Mysian shields with the same expression of terror and fear in his eyes. Yet others say that that she had married Helicaon but when Telephus came she tricked him into believing that the cattle that were handed down to him by his father had been stolen and that she would exact his revenge if he would marry her. And so at night she stabbed him and married Telephus which explains why she was punished by being sucked up into a hell pit chasm in the earth.
He met with Neoptolemus (or Calchas) who gave him a deadly blow in the very same place that Achilles had which had never truly healed.
