In Greek mythology, Hippolochus (Ancient Greek: Ἱππολόχoς Hippolokhos) was a Lycian prince as the son of King Bellerophon. He was probably the successor of the latter in the kingship of the Lycian land.
Family
[edit]Hippolochus's mother was Philonoe, daughter of the King Iobates.[1] In some accounts, she was also known as Alkimedousa,[2] Anticleia,[3] Pasandra or Cassandra.[4] Hippolochus was the brother of Isander and Laodamia[5] (Deidamia[6] or Hippodamia[7]), and the father[8] or stepfather[citation needed] of Glaucus II (not to be confused with Glaucus I, who was the father or stepfather of Bellerophon).
Mythology
[edit]Hippolochus sent his son to participate in the Trojan War and the latter became one of the distinguished Trojan Leaders.
"But Hippolochus begat me (i.e. Glaucus) and of him do I declare that I am sprung; and he sent me to Troy and straitly charged me ever to be bravest and pre-eminent above all, and not bring shame upon the race of my fathers, that were far the noblest in Ephyre and in wide Lycia."[9]
