Hesione

According to Ovid's Metamorphoses (XI 199-217 ) and in Libraries of Apollodorus (II 103f. , 136) was Hesione (Greek Ἡσιόνη ) the daughter of King Laomedon, for whom the gods Apollo and Poseidon built the walls of the city of Troy. When Laomedon refused them their wages, Poseidon sent a sea monster, which caused terrible devastation. After Apollo's oracle the plague could be stopped only by the victims of Hesione. She was chained to a rock, the monster as a sacrifice, but is saved by Heracles, who killed the monster. King Laomedon, who had promised Heracles magnificent horses for the help, also denied him the reward. Hercules stormed out Troy and slew the king and his clan. For one of her brothers begged for mercy Hesione, and bought him symbolically at the request of Heracles with a veil free. The rescued son was called Priam, buy after the Greek word for. Heracles gave Hesione his comrades Telamon for his wife.

Allusions to this legend can already be found in the Iliad ( 639-642 V and XX 145-148 ).
