Summary

Series of figures in Greek mythology

In Greek mythology, the name Laonome (Ancient Greek: Λαονόμη 'law of the people' derived from *laos "*people" and nomos, "law") may refer to:

Laonome, daughter of Guneus, possible spouse of Alcaeus and mother of Amphitryon, Anaxo and Perimede. She was a woman of Pheneus where Heracles migrated first and lived with her after he was expelled by Eurystheus. This happened before the hero went to Thebes and later on settled there.
Laonome, daughter of Amphitryon and Alcmene (thus granddaughter of the precedent), sister of Iphicles and half-sister of Heracles. She married an Argonaut, either Euphemus or Polyphemus.
Laonome, mother by Hodoedocus of Kalliaros, eponym of the city Kalliaros in Locris.
