Heracles and his allies put Troy to siege, killing Laomedon and all his sons save Podarces, who saved his own life by giving Heracles a golden veil Hesione had made (and therefore was afterwards called Priam, from priamai 'to buy').
At the time of the Trojan expedition the king of Troy was Priam. Priam had fifty sons and nineteen daughters - including Hector, Paris, Troilus, Polyxena, Cassandra and Creusa - and had originally borne the name Podarces. When Troy falls Priam is butchered by Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles. The story is told in all its brutality by both Vergil and Shakespeare. Shakespeare also presents an old and infirm Priam in his play Troilus and Cressida.
Priam and Aphrodite did not have a son. Anchises who was related to Priam had a relationship with Aphrodite. His sons by her were Aeneas and Lyrus.
The father of Priam was Laomedon.His daughters :AntigoneHesioneCillaProcliaAethillaClytodoraAstyocheHis sons:TithonusBucolionThymoetesLampusHicetaonClytiusMedesicasteGanymede (sometimes his son, sometimes his uncle)Podarces, afterwards called Priam*(Note that all the brothers of Priam were killed by Heracles becasue Laomedon planned on sacrificing his daughter Hesione to Poseidon in the hope of appeasing him. Poseidon and Apollo had built the walls of Troy for wages and not been paid them; Apollo sent sickness and Poseidon a sea monster.Heracles (along with Oicles and Telamon) rescued her at the last minute and killed the monster. Laomedon had promised them the magic horses as a reward for their deeds, but when he broke his word, Heracles and his allies took vengeance by putting Troy to siege, killing Laomedon and all his sons save Podarces, who saved his own life by giving Heracles a golden veil Hesione had made (and therefore was afterwards called Priam, from priamai 'to buy'). Telamon took Hesione as a war prize and married her; they had a son called Teucer.)
He was the king of Troy during the Trojan War. He is the youngest (and only surviving) son of Laomedon, was formerly named Podarces until he was rescued by his sister Hesione. He reputedly had fifty sons and fifty daughters. His most notable wife is Hecuba.

Priam was the king of Troy during the Trojan War.
Troy
King Priam was created in 1962.
In Greek mythology the wife of Priam is Hecuba. Priam was also a lover of Arisbe or Alexiroe and Laothoe.
It is the gods which inspire Priam to seek Achilles. Zeus holds yet another meeting discussing Achilles irrational behavior. They argue but decide to return Hektor's body to Priam for a proper burial. When Priam visits Achilles in Book XXIV, it is evident that, up until this point, Achilles has been consumed by irrational feelings of anger, ego, and unjust pride. Now, Priam appeals to Achilles emotional intelligence, appearing as the father of Hektor and not as the King of Troy. He asks Achilles to remember his own father- suggesting that a father's wish is to see his son treated with the respect he deserves. Achilles is compassionate. He remembers the "vision" of Patroklos, looking inside himself and understanding Priam's pain and anguish. This adds to the psychological component of the book. Achilles is aware of himself in a more humane way- he is sympathetic to Priam. His uncontrolled anger has subsided and he has reached a state of enlightenment and personal development.
