was one of the Calydonian hunters and of the Argonauts. (Apollod. i. 8. § 2, 9. § 16, iii. 12. § 7; Paus. i. 42. § 4; Hygin. Fab. 173; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 175.) Miltiades traced his pedigree to Telamon. (Paus. ii. 29 § 4.) After Telamon and Peleus had killed their step-brother Phocus [PHOCUS], they were expelled by Aeacus from Aegina, and Telamon went to Cychreus in Salamis, who bequeathed to him his kingdom. (Apollod. 1. c. ; Paus. ii. 29. §§ 2, 7.) He is said to have been a great friend of Heracles (Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. him in his expedition against Laomedon of Troy, which city he was the first to enter. He there erected to Heracles Callinicus or Alexicacus, an altar. Heracles, in return, gave to him Theaneira or Hesione, a daughter of Laomedon, by whom he became the father of Teucer and Trambelus. (Apollod. ii. 6. § 4, iii. 10. § 8, 12. § 7; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 468; Diod. iv. 32.) On this expedition Telamon and Heracles also fought against the Meropes in Cos, on account of Chalciope, the beautiful daughter of Eurypylus, the king of the Meropes, and against the giant Alcioneus, on the isthmus of Corinth. (Pind. Nem. iv. 40, &c., with the Schol.) He also accompanied Heracles on his expedition against the Amazons, and slew Melanippe. (Pind. Nem. iii. 65, with the Schol.) Respecting his two sons, see AJAX and TEU[L. S.] CER. Pall. 75, &c., with Spanheim's note.) Another tradition accounts for his blindness in the following manner. Once, when on Mount Cythaeron (others say Cyllene), he saw a male and a female serpent together; he struck at them with his staff, and as he happened to kill the female, he himself was metamorphosed into a woman. Seven years later he again saw two serpents, and now killing the male, he again became a man. It was for this reason that Zeus and Hera, when they were disputing as to whether a man or a woman had more enjoyments, referred the matter to Teire-i. 1289; Theocrit. Id. xiii. 38), and to have joined sias, who could judge of both, and declared in favour of the assertion of Zeus that women had more enjoyments. Hera, indignant at the answer, blinded him, but Zeus gave him the power of prophecy, and granted him a life which was to last for seven or nine generations. (Apollod. l. c.; Hygin. Fab. 75; Ov. Met. iii. 320, &c.; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 682; Pind. Nem. i. 91.) In the war of the Seven against Thebes, he declared that Thebes should be victorious, if Menoeceus would sacrifice himself (Apollod. .c.; Hygin. Fab. 68); and during the war of the Epigoni, when the Thebans had been defeated, he advised them to commence negotiations of peace, and to avail themselves of the opportunity that would thus be afforded them, to take to flight. He himself fled with them (or, according to others, he was carried to Delphi as a captive), but on his way he drank from the well of Tilphossa and died. (Apollod. iii. 7. § 3; Paus. ix. 33. § 1; Diod. iv. 66.) His daughter Manto (or Daphne) was sent by the victorious Argives to Delphi, as a present to Apollo. (Diod. l. c.; Apollod. iii. 7. § 4.) Another daughter of his is called Historis. (Paus. ix. 11. § 2.) Even in the lower world Teiresias was believed to retain the powers of perception, while the souls of other mortals were mere shades, and there also he continued to use his golden staff. (Hom. Od. x. 492, xi. 190, &c.; Lycoph. Cass. 682; Cic. de Div. i. 40; Paus. ix. 33. § 1.) His tomb was shown in the neighbourhood of the Tilphusian well near Thebes (Paus. ix. 18. § 3, 33. § 1, vii. 3. § 1), but also in Macedonia (Plin. II. N. xxxvii. 10); and the place near Thebes where he had observed the birds (oiwvoσKÓTLOV) was pointed out as a remarkable spot even in later times. (Paus. ix. 16. § ́1; Soph. Oed. Tyr. 493.) The oracle connected with his tomb lost its power and became silent at the time of the Orchomenian plague. (Plut. De Orac. Defect.) He was represented by Polygnotus in the Lesche at Delphi. (Paus. x. 29. § 2.) The blind seer Teiresias acts so prominent a part in the mythical history of Greece that there is scarcely any event with which he is not connected in some way or other, and this introduction of the seer in so many occurrences separated by long intervals of time, was facilitated by the belief in his long life. [L. S.] TE'LAMON (Teλaμúv). 1. A surname of Atlas, describing him as the sufferer or bearer of heaven, from Thάw. (Serv. ad Aen. i. 741, iv. 246.) 2. A son of Aeacus and Endeïs, and a brother of Peleus. He emigrated from Aegina to Salamis, and was first married to Glauce, a daughter of Cenchrens (Diod. iv. 72), and afterwards to Periboea or Eriboea, a daughter of Alcathous, by whom he became the father of Ajax. (Pind. Isthm. vi. 65; Apollod. iii. 12. § 6; comp. AJAX.) He TELCHIN (Teλxív), a son of Europs, and father of Apis, was king of Sicyon (Paus. ii. 5, § 5). According to Apollodorus (ii. 1. § 1, &c.) Telchin, in conjunction with Thelsion, slew Apis, and was killed in consequence by Argus Panoptes. [L. S.] TELCHI'NES (Teλxîves), a family, a class of people, or a tribe, said to have been descended from Thalassa or Poseidon. (Diod. v. 55 ; Nonn. Dionys. xiv. 40.) It is probably owing to this story about their origin, that Eustathius (ad Hom. p. 771) describes them as marine beings without feet, the place of the hands being occupied by fins, though in the same page he also states that originally they were the dogs of Actaeon, who were changed into men. The following are mentioned as the names of individual Telchines: - Mylas (Hesych. 8. v.), Atabyrius (Steph. Byz. s. υ. Ατάβυρον), Antaeus, Megalesius, Hormenus, Lycus, Nicon, Simon (Tzetz. Chil. vii. 124, &c., xii. 835; Zenob. Cent. 5, par. 41), Chryson, Argyron, Chalcon (Eustath. ad Hom. p. 772; Diod. v. 55). The accounts of the Telchines are very few and scanty, and in them they appear in three different relations: 1. As cultivators of the soil and ministers of the gods; and as such they came from Crete to Cyprus and from thence to Rhodes, or they proceeded from Rhodes to Crete and Boeotia. Rhodes, and in it the three towns of Cameirus, Ialysos, and Lindos (whence the Telchines are called Ialysii, Ov. Met. vii. 365), which was their principal seat and was named after them Teλxivís (Sicyon also was called Telchinia, Eustath. ad Hom. p. 291), was abandoned by them, because they foresaw that the island would be inundated, and thence they scattered in different directions: Lycus went to Lycia, where he built the temple of the Lycian Apollo. This god had been worshipped by them at Lindos ('Ãπóλλwv Teλxívios), and Hera at Ialysos and Cameiros ("HỌа TeλXIvía); and Athena at Teumessus in Boeotia bore the surname of Telchinia. Nymphs also are fragments, which are fully discussed by Meineke. TE'LECLES (Tŋλeкλñs), was one of the am- called after them Telchiniae. Poseidon was in- | several other chronological allusions in the extant trusted to them by Rhea, and they in conjunction with Capheira, a daughter of Oceanus, brought him up. (Diod. l. c.; Strab. xiv. p. 653; Paus. ix. 19. § 1.) Rhea, Apollo and Zeus, however, are also described as hostile to the Telchines (Schol. | ad Apollon. Rhod. i. 1141), for Apollo is said to have assumed the shape of a wolf and to have thus destroyed the Telchines (Serv. ad Aen. iv. 377; comp. Eustath. ad Hom. p. 771), and Zeus is said to have caused their destruction by an inundation (Ov. Met. vii. 367). 2. As sorcerers and envious daemons (Suid. s. v. Báoкavoi kal yóŋTes; Strab. 1. c.; Eustath. ad Hom. pp. 941, 1391.) Their very eyes and aspect are said to have been destructive (Ov. l.c.; Tzetz. Chil. xii. 814). They had it in their power to bring on hail, rain, and snow, and to assume any form they pleased (Diod. l. c.); they further mixed Stygian water with sulphur, in order thereby to destroy animals and plants (Strab. xiv. p. 653). 3. As artists, for they are said to have invented useful arts and institutions and to have made images of the gods. They worked in brass and iron, made the sickle of Cronos and the trident of Poseidon. (Diod. and Strab. 1. c.; Callim. Hymn. in Del. 31.) This last feature in the character of the Telchines seems to have been the reason of their being put together with the Idacan Dactyls, and Strabo (x. p. 472) even states that those of the nine Rhodian Telchines who accompanied Rhea to Crete, and there brought up the infant Zeus, were called Curetes. (Comp. Höck, Creta, i. p. 345, &c.; Welcker, Die Aeschyl. Trilogie, p. 182, &c.; Lobeck, Aglaopham. p. 1182, &c.) [L. S.] TELEBOAS (Tnλebóas.) 1. A grandson of Lelex, a son of Pterelaus and brother of Taphius. (Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1473; Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. i. 747.) His descendants, the Teleboans, were believed to have settled in Acarnania. (Strab. vii. p. 322, x. p. 459.) 2. A son of Lycaon in Arcadia. (Apollod. iii. 8. § 1.) 3. A centaur. (Ov. Met. xii. 441.) [L. S.] TELECLEIDES (Tŋλekλeídns), a distinguished Athenian comic poet of the Old Comedy, flourished about the same time as Crates and Cratinus, and a little earlier than Aristophanes, with whom, however, he may have been partly contemporary, and like whom he was an earnest advocate of peace, and a great admirer of the ancient manners of the age of Themistocles. Six plays are attributed to him (Anon. de Com. p. xxxiv.), perhaps including the one which the ancient critics considered spurious (Phryn. Eel. Att. p. 291); for there are only five titles extant, 'Aupikтúoves, 'Ayevdeîs, Ἡσίοδοι, Πρυτάνεις, Στεῤῥοί. Of these plays we possess some interesting fragments, especially those in which he attacks Pericles and extols Nicias. (Plut. Per. 3, 16, Nic. 4.) Meineke conjectures that the second of these fragments was written soon after the ostracism of Thucydides and the complete establishment of the power of Pericles, in Ol. 83. 4, B. c. 444. Bergk thinks that the anonymous quotation in Plutarch (Per. 7), referring to the subjugation of Euboea by Pericles, after it had revolted (B. c. 445), ought to be assigned to Telecleides, as well as a fragment in Herodian (repl μov. λé. p. 17, 11) respecting Aegina, which may very probably refer to the expulsion of the Aeginetans in B. c. 431 (Thuc. ii. 27). There are TE'LECLES (Tŋλeкλîjs), artist. [THEODORUS]. TE'LECLUS (TAKλos), king of Sparta, 8th of the Agids, and son of Archelaus. In his reign the Spartans subdued the Achaean towns of Amyclae, Pharis, and Geranthrae. Not long after these successes Teleclus was slain by the Messenians, in a temple of Artemis Limnatis, on the borders. According to the Spartan account, he had gone thither to offer sacrifice, with a company of maidens, and fell in an attempt to rescue them from the violence of the Messenians. The Messenian statement, however, was, that he had treacherously brought with him a body of Spartan youths, disguised as maidens, and with daggers hidden under their dress, for the purpose of murdering a number of the noblest Messenians at the festival, and that the objects of the plot had killed him and his associates in self-defence. (Herod. vii. 204; Aristot. ap. Schol. ad Pind. Isthm. vii. 18; Paus. iii. 2, iv. 4; Ephor. ap. Strab. vi. p. 279; Clint. F. H. vol. i. pp. 129, 250, 337.) [E. E.] TELE'GONUS (Tŋλéyovos). 1. A son of Proteus and brother of Polygonus, was killed, together with his brother, by Heracles, whom they had challenged to a contest in wrestling. (Apollod. ii. 5. § 9; comp. POLYGONUS.) 2. A king of Egypt who married Io, after she had come to rest from her wandering and found her son Epaphus. (Apollod. ii. 1. § 3.) According to the Scholiast on Euripides (Or. 920) this Telegonus was a son of Epaphus and a brother of Libya. 3. A son of Odysseus by Circe. At the time when Odysseus had returned to Ithaca, Circe sent out Telegonus in search of his father. A storm cast his ship on the coast of Ithaca, and being pressed by hunger, he began to plunder the fields. Odysseus and Telemachus, on being informed of the ravages caused by the stranger, went out to fight against him; but Telegonus ran Odysseus through with a spear which he had received from his mother. (Comp. Horat. iii. 29.8; Ov. Trist. i. 1, 114.) At the command of Athena, Telegonus, accompanied by Telemachus and Penelope, went to Circe in Aeaea, there buried the body of Odysseus, TELEMUS (Týλeμos), a son of Eurymus, and a celebrated soothsayer. (Hom. Od. ix. 509; Ov. Met. xiii. 731; Theocrit. Idyll. vi. 23.) [L. S.] and married Penelope, by whom he became the amphitheatre, Telemachus rushed into the arena, father of Italus. (Hes.

[P.S.] Taphians, went to Ithaca, and advised Telemachus TELEMNASTUS (Tηλéuvaσтos), a Cretan, to eject the troublesome suitors of his mother from whom Perseus sent to Antiochus Epiphanes, in his house, and to go to Pylos and Sparta, to gather B. c. 168, to urge him by every motive of selfinformation concerning his father. Telemachus interest to side with him against Rome. (Polyb. followed the advice, but the suitors refused to quit xxix. 3.) We may perhaps identify this person his house; and Athena, in the form of Mentes, with the Telemnastus, a Gortynian, who with 500 accompanied Telemachus to Pylos. There they men effectually aided the Achaeans in their war were hospitably received by Nestor, who also sent with Nabis. (Polyb. xxxiii. 15.) [E. E.] his own son to conduct Telemachus to Sparta. Menelaus again kindly received him, and communicated to him the prophecy of Proteus concerning Odysseus. (Hom. Od. i.-iv.) From Sparta Telemachus returned home; and on his arrival there, he found his father, with the swineherd Eumaeus. But as Athena had metamorphosed him into a beggar, Telemachus did not recognise his father until the latter disclosed to him who he was. Father and son now agreed to punish the suitors ; and when they were slain or dispersed, Telemachus accompanied his father to the aged Laertes. (Hom. Od. xv.-xxiv. ; comp. ODYSSEUS.) In the PostHomeric traditions, we read that Palamedes, when endeavouring to persuade Odysseus to join the Greeks against Troy, and the latter feigned idiotcy, placed the infant Telemachus before the plough with which Odysseus was ploughing. (Hygin. Fab. 95; Serv. ad Aen. ii. 81; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 384; Aelian, V. H. xiii. 12.) According to some accounts, Telemachus became the father of Perseptolis either by Polycaste, the daughter of Nestor, or by Nausicaa, the daughter of Alcinous. (Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1796; Dict. Cret. vi. 6.) Others relate that he was induced by Athena to marry Circe, and became by her the father of Latinus (Hygin. Fab. 127; comp. TELEGONUS), or that he married Cassiphone, a daughter of Circe, but in a quarrel with his mother-in-law he slew her, for which in his turn he was killed by Cassiphone. (Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 808.) He is also said to have had a daughter called Roma, who married Aeneas. (Serv. ad Aen. i. 273.) One account states that Odysseus, in consequence of a prophecy that his son was dangerous to him, sent him away from Ithaca. Servius (ad Aen. x. 167) makes Telemachus the founder of the town of Clusium in Etruria. [L. S.] TELE MACHUS, an Asiatic monk and martyr, who is justly renowned for the act of daring selfdevotion, by which he caused the gladiatorial combats at Rome to be abolished, and obtained for himself the honours of canonization. In the year A. D. 404, in the midst of the spectacles of the TELENICUS (Teλévikos), of Byzantium, is mentioned by Athenaeus as one of the miserable flute-players of the Athenian dithyramb. (Ath. xiv. p. 638, b.) He appears to have been ridiculed by Cratinus, in his Seriphians, and the worthlessness of his nomes gave rise to the proverbial expressions, Τελενικίσαι and Τελενίκειος ηχώ (Hesych. s. v.

(Plin. H. N. xxxiv. 8. s. 19. § 9; Müller, Archäol. d. Kunst, § 112, n. 1, § 247, n. 6.) Pliny tells us that, although little known beyond Thessaly, where his works lay concealed from the notice of the rest of Greece, he was mentioned with great praise by artists who had written upon art, and who placed him on an equality with Polycleitus, Myron, and Pythagoras. His works were, Larissa, Spintharus a victor in the pentathlon, and Apollo. As he worked for Darius and Xerxes, he must have flourished in the early part of the fifth century, в C.

Aegin. iv. 46); and when he consulted the oracle he received the answer, that only he could cure him who had wounded him. Telephus, therefore, in a deplorable condition, went to seek Agamemnon; and on the advice of Clytaemnestra he carried off Orestes from his cradle, threatening | to kill him unless his father would assist him in getting his wound cured. As the Greeks had received an oracle that without the aid of Telephus they could not reach Troy, a reconciliation was easily brought about, and Achilles cured Telephus by means of the rust of the spear by which the wound had been inflicted; Telephus, in return, pointed out to the Greeks the road which they had to take.

M.] TELESA'RCHIDES (Teλeσapxídns), an Athenian sculptor, who is mentioned by Eustathius (ad Il. xxiv. 333, p. 1358. 8), as the maker of a Hermes with four heads ('Еpuns Teтpaképaλos), which stood in the Cerameicus at Athens, and bore the following inscription: Ἑρμῆ τετρακάρηνε, καλὸν Τελεταρχίδου ἔργον, (Comp. Heyne, Prisc. Art. Opp. ex Epigr. Illustr. TELESILLA (Teλéσiλλa) of Argos, a cele grounds for thinking that Raoul-Rochette may be right in his conjecture, that this statue was the celebrated lyric poetess and heroine, of the number of brated Hermes which stood in the Cerameicus, at the junction of three roads, which is spoken of by the ancient writers both as Ἑρμῆς τετρακεφαλοs and as Ἑρμῆς τρικέφαλος, and which is an object of some interest on account of the allusion to it in the TpipáAns of Aristophanes. It is impossible here to discuss the question at length; those who wish to pursue it may consult the following authorities. (Phot. .c. and s.v. Tρiképaλoi; Harpocrat. s.7. Tрiképaλos 'Epμns, with the note of Valesius; Hesych. s. v. 'Epuns Tρiképaλos; Etym. Mag. s. v. Tpiképaλos; Aristoph. Frag. Triphal. No. 11, ed. Bergk, ap. Meineke, Frag. Com. Graec. vol. ii. p. 1168, ed. Dindorf, in Didot's Bibliotheca, p. 510; Süvern on the Clouds of Aristophanes, p. 87.) This Hermes was set up by Procleides or Patrocleides, the friend of Hipparchus; and therefore, if Raoul-Rochette be right, Telesarc hides must have flourished under the Peisistratids, and probably before the murder of Hipparchus in B. C. 514. (R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, pp. 412, 413, 2d ed.) [P.S.] TELESARCHUS (Teλéσapxos), a Syro-Macedonian officer, who commanded a force of 500 men sent by Antiochus I. to assist the Greeks in the defence of Thermopylae against the Gauls under Brennus, B. c. 279. On that occasion he displayed the utmost zeal and courage, and rendered important services to the cause of the confederates, but was at length slain while valiantly defending a side pass over Mount Oeta, by which the Gauls sought to force their passage. (Paus. x. 20. § 5, 22. § 1.) [E. H. B.] TELESARCHUS (Teλéσapxos), the author of a work on the early history of Argolis. (Sextus Empir. adv. Math. i. 12; Schol. in Eurip. Alc. 2; Schol. in Hom. Il. ii. 690.) TELE'SIAS (Teλerías), a Theban musician, of the time of the later Athenian dithyramb, whose career is adduced by Plutarch as an instance of the force of early education, whether good or bad. (Plut. de Mus. 31, p. 1142, b. c.) He relates, on the authority of Aristoxenus, with whom the musician was contemporary, that Telesias had been carefully instructed, when young, in the works of the most distinguished musicians, such as Pindar, Dionysius of Thebes, Lamprus, and Pratinas, and the great lyric poets; and that he had become an excellent flute-player, and thoroughly acquainted with the other branches of his art: but that, in middle life, he was so taken with the dramatic and artificial style of music which then prevailed, that he neglected his old models, and gave himself up to the study of the productions of Philoxenus and Timotheus, of which he chose the most novel and artificial but, when he set himself to the work of composition, and tried both styles, that of Pindar and that of Philoxenus, he found himself quite unable to imitate the latter successfully, so great was the power of his early training in the better style. [P. S.] TELESIAS, of Athens, a statuary, of unknown time, mentioned only by Clemens Alexandrinus (Protrept. p.18, Sylb.), who states, on the authority of Philochorus, that he made the statues of Poseidon and Amphitrite, nine cubits in height, which were worshipped in the island of Tenos. (Philoch. Fr. 185, ed. Müller, Frag. Hist. in Didot's Bibliotheca, vol. i. p. 414). [P.S.] TELE'SICLES (Teλeσikλîs). [ARCHILOCHUS]. those who were called the Nine Lyric Muses (Antip. Thess. in Anth. Pal. ix. 26), flourished about Ol. 67, B. c. 510, in the times of Cleomenes I. and Demaratus, kings of Sparta. (Clinton, F. H. s. a., who corrects the errors of Eusebius and FaPlutarch relates the tradition that she bricius). was of noble birth, but was afflicted with a disease, concerning the cure of which she consulted an oracle, and received an answer directing her to In obedience to the divine serve the Muses. command, she applied herself to poetry and music; and was soon rewarded by restoration to health, and by the admiration which the Argive women bestowed upon her poetry. In the war of Argos against Sparta, she obtained the highest renown, not only by her poetry, but her personal valour; for, not content with encouraging her countrymen by her lyre and song, she took up arms at the head of a band of her country women, and greatly contributed to the victory which they gained over the Spartans. (Plut. de Mul. Virt. p. 245, d. e. ; Paus. ii. 20. § 7; Max. Tyr. Diss. xxxvii. 5, vol. ii. p. 209, ed. Reiske, Diss. xxi. p. 218, ed Davis; Suid. s. v.; comp. Herod. vi. 77). In memory of this exploit, her statue was erected in the temple of Aphrodite at Argos, with the emblems of a poetess and a heroine (Paus. l. c.; Tatian. ad Graec. 52, p. 114, ed. Worth); and Ares was worshipped in that city as a patron deity of women (Lucian. Amor. 30, vol. ii. p. 430); and the prowess of her female associates was commemorated by the annual festival called 'TepioTikά, in which the women and the men appeared respectively in the attire of the other sex: this festival appears to be the same as the 'Evôvμária. (Plut. de Mul. Virt. l.c.; de Mus. 9, p. 1134, c.; Clem. Alex. Strom. iv. p. 522, Sylburg; Polyaen. Strat. viii. 33.) Müller, however, regards this whole story as having a decidedly fabulous complexion: he explains the so-called statue of Telesilla, in the temple of Aphrodite, as being a statue of the goddess, of that well-known type, in which she was represented in the act of arming herself; and he ascribes quite a different origin to the festival of the Hybristica. (Dorier, bk. i. c. 8. § 6; Proleg. zu Mythol. p. 405; see also Grote, History of Greece, vol. iv. pp. 432-433.) Our information respecting the poetry of Telesilla is very scanty. Athenaeus (xiv. p. 619, b.) states that she composed an ode to Apollo, called Anλías, which Bode explains as the Argive name of the Paean, derived from the first words of the strain, sepx' (or ¤§ex') ☎ pix' Ate. (Pollux, ix. 123; Bode, Gesch. d. lyr. Dichtkunst, pt. ii. p. 119.) Pausanias also quotes from her poems in honour of Apollo and Artemis (iii. 35. § 2, ii. 28. § 2). and the statement respecting the children of Niobe, quoted from her by Apollodorus (Bibl. iii. 5. § 6), must have been derived from a similar source. A scholiast on Homer (Od. xiii. 289) mentions her representation of Virtue as being similar to that of Xenophon in the celebrated fable of Prodicus: and there are two or three grammatical references to single words used by her (Ath. xi. p. 467, f.; Eustath. p. 1207. 14; Poll. ii. 23; Hesych. s. v. BEATITαs). ; poetry which remain are the following two, which The only complete verses of her seem to come from a Parthenion, composed for a chorus of Argive virgins, on the subject of the love of the river Alpheus for Artemis : |
