After his older brother died without issue, Lamedon was to succeed him, but the kingdom was seized by Epopeus.
[3] However, Epopeus died of a wound he had received in the battle against Nycteus, and Lamedon took over as his heir; according to Pausanias, Lamedon was responsible for giving Antiope up to Lycus.
[4] Later, when Lamedon was engaged in a military conflict against Archander and Architeles (sons of Achaeus and the husbands of the Danaïdes Scaea and Automate[5]), he had Sicyon of Attica for an ally.
In reward for Sicyon's assistance, Lamedon gave him Zeuxippe to wife and pronounced him his successor.
