About Polycaon

Polycaon was one of the sons of the Laconian king, Lelex and Cleochareia, he had three brothers, Myles, Pterelaus, and Cleson. He married a woman called Messene who was reported to be a daughter of the king of Argos, Triopas (all seeing, or thrice sighted). His brother Myles inherited Lelex's throne on his death; but Messene could not bear to be the wife of a mere prince, so she apparently raised an army and they conquered part of the Peloponnese, and renamed it Messinia, and made the capitol Andania. There is no record of any children.
