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.[1][2] 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.[3]
