Around 1300 B.C. Lycomides (from the ancient word liki meaning light, and from the Latin lux also likavges from liki and avgi, meaning dawn, and Likeio, Likeio Apollo, etc.) was king of the Dolopians at Skyros.

His genaeological tree, as described by Pavsanias in his Achaika 4.1, is as follows: “An ancient poet from Samos called Asios writes the following in his poems: Phoenix and Perimidis (daughter of Oinaea) begat Astipalaia and Europi. Astipalaia and Poseidon begat Agaios who became king of the Nelegons. Agaios had 4 sons and one daughter with Saurian (daughter of the river Maiandrou): Perilaon, Enoudon, Samon, Alithersi and Parthenopi. Lycomides was born from the union of Apollon and Parthenopi”.
From the period when Theseus was murdered by Lycomides around 1300 B.C. (as we mentioned previously, this was before the Trojan war) to the period when Lycomides hid Achilles in his palace around 1175 B.C., about 125 years have elapsed.
This suggests that Lycomides would be about 150 years old - not exactly normal no matter how mythical these individuals and their achievements were; the question arises whether one Lycomides murdered Theseus while another Lycomides hid Achilles.
A similar situation is that of Minos, King of Crete, where it was established that one - the first - was wise, a great legislator and very kind, while the other - the grandson of the first, and also named Minos was cruel and brutal.
According to another view, the aristocratic Lycomides family considered their first ancestor to be Liko, the son of the Attica king Pandiona and Pylia, who also had three brothers: Aegeus, Palada and Niso.
It was said that Aegeus (the father of Theseus) was not the natural son of Pandiona, but was adopted and whose true father was Skirio (as we mentioned previously).
Lycomides was also the son of Creoda, king of Thebes, who was wounded in the Trojan War, as was depicted in a painting in Delphi by Polygnotos.
But the Lycomides name continues to be mentioned throughout the histortical years as the linage seemed to be made up mainly of noblemen; they finally settled in the ancient municipality of Flies (Fliastis) in Attica, which was in an area south-west of the present suburb of Amarousion.

This municipality belonged to the Kekropidan tribe. A descendant of this noble family was Themistocles (525-459 B.C.), the famous general and politician of ancient Athens, as was another Athenian trireme named Lycomides, who was the first warrior to defeat a hostile Persian ship in the naval battle at Salamina in 480 B.C.
Finally, the Lycomides' were mentioned in the humns of Orpheus, which were chanted during various religious ceremonies... Pavsania Viotika 30.12.
