In Greek mythology, Hicetaon (Ancient Greek: Ἱκετάονα or Ἱκετάονος) may refer to:
- Hicetaon, a Trojan prince as the son of King Laomedon of Troy, thus a brother of King Priam.[1] He was one of the Trojan elders.[2] After Paris kidnapped Helen of Troy, Hicetaon suggested that she be returned to Menelaus to avoid war. His sons were: Melanippus, who died in the war Hicetaon had sought to avert;[3] Critolaus, husband of Priam's daughter Aristomache;[4] Thymoetes (in the Aeneid only, otherwise given as his brother);[5] and, possibly, Antenor.[6]
- Hicetaon, prince of Methymna in Lesbos. He was the son of King Lepetymnus and Methymna, daughter of King Macareus.[7] He was killed by Achilles, when the latter attacked the islands close to the mainland.[8]
