Sarpedon Greek A son of Zeus and Laodemia or Europa. In the Trojan War, Sarpedon was a hero, the ally of King Priam. His particular friend was Glaucus (1), who mourned his death (in Homer's Iliad) at the hands of Patroclus. Zeus had Apollo carry the body of Sarpedon from the battlefield to be buried in Lydia, his homeland. In an earlier legend, Sarpedon was the son of Zeus and Europa, and the brother of Minos and Rhadamanthus. He became king of Lydia. Zeus granted him the privilege of living for three generations.
