Lycomedes

This article is about the Greek mythological figure. For the Arcadian politician, see Lycomedes (Mantinea).

In Greek mythology, Lycomedes (also known as Lycurgus) was the King of Skyros during the Trojan War. Achilles hid himself in Lycomedes' court to escape the war and fathered Neoptolemus with Lycomedes' daughter, Deidamea.

Plutarch says that Lycomedes also killed Theseus by pushing him off a cliff.
