In Greek mythology, Hodoedocus or Hodedocus (/həˈdɛdəkəs/; Ancient Greek: Ὁδοίδοκος) was a son of Cynus and grandson of Opus.[1] His father and sister, Larymna, were eponyms of the cities Kynos in Locris and Larymna in Boeotia respectively.[2]
Hodoedocus was the father of Oileus by Agrianome, daughter of Perseon,[3] and of Calliarus by Laonome.[4]
