In Greek mythology, Hippolochus is a Lycian prince, son of Bellerophon and father of Glaucus, who leads the Lycian contingent at Troy beside Sarpedon. Homer has him charge his son always to be bravest and uphold the fame of their race. Distinct from Hippolochus son of Antimachus and from Antenor's son of the same name.

I.Son of Bellerophon
In the Iliad's famous meeting of Glaucus and Diomedes, Glaucus traces his line from Bellerophon through Hippolochus. Apollodorus likewise makes Hippolochus son of Bellerophon (by Philonoe or another consort) and father of the Trojan-war Glaucus.
When Hippolochus sent Glaucus to Troy he ordered him always to be best and pre-eminent above others, and not to shame the race of his fathers — the watchword Glaucus recalls on the battlefield.
II.Homonyms
A separate Hippolochus, son of Antimachus (atlas hippolochus-antimachid), is slain by Agamemnon in Iliad 11. Another Hippolochus, son of Antenor, is said to have survived Troy's fall and settled in Cyrene with brothers.
The atlas id hippolochus-lycian keeps the Bellerophontid father of Glaucus apart from those Trojan namesakes.
