Lycomedes (Lukomoedes). A king of the Dolopians, in the island of Scyros,
near Euboea, father of Deidameia, and grandfather of Pyrrhus or Neoptolemus (Apollod.
iii. 13. 8). Once when Theseus came to him, Lycomedes, dreading the influence
of the stranger upon his own sub ects, thrust him down a rock. Some related that
the cause of this violence was, that Lycomedes would not give up the estates which
Theseus had in Scyros, or the circumstance that Lycomedes wanted to gain the favour
of Menestheus. (Plut. Thes. 35; Paus. i. 17, in fin.; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 1324;
Soph. Phil. 243; Apollod. iii. 13).
Lycomedes (Lukomedes). A king of Scyros, an island in the Aegean Sea, son of Apollo and Parthenope. He was secretly intrusted with the care of young Achilles, whom his mother Thetis had disguised in feminine attire to prevent his going to the Trojan War, where she knew he must perish. Lycomedes rendered himself infamous for his treachery to Theseus, who had implored his protection when driven from the throne of Athens by the usurper Mnestheus. Lycomedes, as it is reported, either envious of the fame of his illustrious guest, or bribed by the emissaries of Mnestheus, led Theseus to an elevated place on pretence of showing him the extent of his dominions, and perfidiously threw him down a precipice, where he was killed. According to another account, however, his fall was accidental.
