- Greetings.
-
- I'm searching for books concerning Dardanos and his kin. Primarily,
- I'm hoping to find information about Laomedon, his sons, and their sons.
- What I would like is pre-Homeric sources, or later books that make references
- to them. I've been having a good time looking through ancient mythology trying
- to find references made to this family, but there's just so much and time
- is so scarce I feel that external help may be benificial. Basically what I
- wish to do is make a sort of catalogue. I need information regarding who
- begat whom and what everyone did. I'm also very interested in the war between
- Hercules (with the Greeks) and Laomedon; specifically, what roles the lead
- characters appearing in the Illiad played (and the time differential between
- this war and the war with Troy; how many years passed between them? How old
- was Hector and what role did he play? &c.)
-
- Thanks in advance for any help that you may give.
