In Greek mythology, the name Laodice referred to three different people.
An alternate name for Electra
Mother of Niobe
Daughter of Priam and Hecuba

-------------------------------

Laodicea was founded in circa 260 B.C. by Antiochus II. He named the city for his wife, Laodice, whom he later divorced. The Romans took control of the city in 129 B.C. and made it a "free city." In time it became a large and prosperous city known for its famous hot springs health resort, a medical center that produced a well-known Phrygian eye salve which was in great demand, and a prosperous wool industry known for its black wool.

Her name in Greek, Laodikeia comes from two words - Lao=people and decia, dee'-kay; right (as self-evident), i.e., justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution)--judgment, punish, vengeance - decia = justice. So Laodicea means = "justice for the people" or a people who will suffer the vengeance and punishment of God.

Loadice’s husband was named Antiochus Theos. His name is also revealing. Antiochus meant "against" or "instead of." Theos is the Greek word for God. So together the name means "instead of" "God" or "Antichrist." Loadice was married to Antichrist.

Loadice had been put away by Antiochus as a condition of a treaty with Ptolemy Philadelphus. Philadelphus gave Antiochus his daughter Berenice--she was to be the true Queen and her issue was to inherit the throne. But after Philadephus dies and Antiochus recalls Loadice. Loadice wants to gain control of the kingdom now. She causes Antiochus to be poisoned; when she saw he was dying, she placed in his bed a person, named Artemon, who very much resembled him, both in his features and tone of his voice. Artemon, whose name means something ready, something hung up, like the mainsail of a vessel, was to act the part that Loadice had set up for him. It is wind that allows the mainsail to move the ship. This mainsail is not the real Theos. He is an actor blowing on the people whatever Loadice desires. His voice sounds so much like the real "Theos," that the common people could not tell the difference. The fake voice of Theos causes the people to remove the rightful Queen and heir and replace them with the evil Loadice and her sons. Loadice did not believe she was safe as long as Berenice was alive, so she had her killed.
