Galaxy/The codex of Teutamus

Teutamus (Ancient Greek Τεύταμος) was the Pelasgian father of Lethus and grandfather of Hippothous and Pylaeus, who lead spear-fighting Pelasgi from deep-soiled Larisa among Troy's allies in Homer's Catalogue of Trojans.

I.Homeric genealogy

Iliad 2.840–843 lists Hippothous and Pylaeus, sons of Pelasgian Lethus son of Teutamus, leading Pelasgian spearsmen from fertile Larisa. Hippothous later falls while dragging Patroclus' corpse (Iliad 17).

The atlas id teutamus-pelasgian is this Homeric grandfather. Wikipedia's Teutamides article merges him with the Larissan king of the Acrisius games; the atlas keeps those roles on separate nodes (see teutamides-larissa).

II.Homonyms

Not the fourth-century BC Macedonian officer Teutamus of the Argyraspides, and not automatically identical with teutamides-larissa.
