Archidamus
Archidamus is a Bohemian lord, part of Polixenes's entourage visiting the palace of Leontes in Sicilia. He appears in the first scene of the play telling Camillo that Bohemia will not be able to match the magnificence of Sicilia's offerings to their guests if their roles are ever reversed. He and Camillo also speak about the great bond between Leontes and Polixenes, and Archidamus praises the young Prince Mamillius.
