SARPEDON

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 221 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SARPEDON , in
Greek
  legend, son of Zeus and Laodameia, Lycian prince and hero of the Trojan war. He fought on the side of the Trojans, and after greatly distinguishing himself by his bravery, was slain by Patroclus. A terrible struggle took place for the possession of his
body
 , until Apollo rescued it from the Greeks, and by the command of Zeus washed and cleansed it, anointed it with
ambrosia
 , and handed it over to Sleep and Death, by whom it was conveyed for burial to
Lycia
 , where a sanctuary (Sarpedoneum) was erected in honour of the fallen hero. Virgil (Aen. i. roo) knows nothing of the removal of the
body
  to
Lycia
 . In later tradition, Sarpedon was the son of Zeus and Europa and the brother of
Minos
 . Having been expelled from
Crete
  by the latter, he and his comrades sailed for
Asia
 , where he finally became king of Lycia. Euripides (Rhesus, 29) confuses the two Sarpedons.
See
Homer
 , Iliad, v. 479, xii. 292, xvi. 419-683; Apollodorus iii. 1, 2; Appian, Bell. civ. iv. 78;
Herodotus
  i. 173., with Rawlinson's notes.
