Telephus
:''This article is about Telephus the son of Heracles. The name also refers to the father of Cyparissus.''
In Greek mythology, Telephus (, ''Tēlephos'', "far-shining")〔See for example, Knight, (p. 433 ). According to the mythographic tradition, Telephus' name derived from his being suckled by a doe, ''e.g.'' Apollodorus, ''Library'' (2.7.4 ) ((Frazer note 2 to AP 2.7.4 ): 'Apollodorus seems to derive the name Telephus from θηλή, “a dug,” and ἔλαφος, “a doe."'). See also Huys (p.295 ff. ); Webster (pp 238–239 ); Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' (99 ); Diodorus Siculus, (4.33.11 ); Moses of Chorene, ''Progymnasm'' 3.3: "He got his name from circumstances". According to Kerenyi his name was "more accurately ... Telephanes, 'he who shines afar'" (Kerenyi, p. 337). The feminine form is Telephassa, of whom Karl Kerenyi writes, "She bore the lunar name Telephassa or Telephae, 'she who illuminates afar', or Argiope 'she of the white face'". (Kerenyi, p. 27). 〕 was the son of Heracles and Auge, daughter of king Aleus of Tegea; and the father of Eurypylus. He was intended to be king of Tegea, but instead became the king of Mysia in Asia Minor. He was wounded by the Achaeans when they were coming to sack Troy and bring back Helen to Sparta.
==Birth==
Aleus, king in Tegea and father of Auge, had been told by an oracle that he would be overthrown by his grandson.〔This Succession Myth, a fate parallel to the succession of the gods Cronus and Zeus, is also told of sons of Metis and Thetis.〕 So, according to varying myths, he forced Auge to become a virginal priestess of Athena Alea, in which condition she was violated by Heracles. Although the infant Telephus was hidden in the temple, his cries revealed his presence and Aleus ordered the child exposed on Mt. Parthenion, the "mountain of the Virgin". The child was suckled by a deer through the agency of Heracles, although the Pergamon Altar depicts Telephus being suckled by a lion. Alternatively, Aleus put Auge and the baby in a crate that was set adrift on the sea〔Compare Danaë and the infant Perseus.〕 and washed up on the coast of Mysia in Asia Minor. Alternatively, Aleus exposed Telephus and sold Auge into slavery; she was thereby given as a gift to King Teuthras.
In either case, Telephus was adopted, either by King Corycus or by King Creon.
