Prince of Teuthrania in Mysia who received Auge from Nauplius, made her his wife, and on his death was succeeded by Telephus, the son she had borne to Heracles.1
When Aleus exposed Auge's shame, he gave her to Nauplius to sell far away in a foreign land, and Nauplius gave her to Teuthras, prince of Teuthrania, who made her his wife.2
The babe Telephus, exposed on Mount Parthenius and suckled by a doe, grew up and came to Delphi; on the god's word he repaired to Mysia, became Teuthras' adopted son, and on Teuthras' death succeeded to the princedom.3
Pausanias records that the land called Pergamus in his day was named of old Teuthrania, and that the tomb of Auge still stood at Pergamon above the Caicus.4
Hyginus makes Teuthras a childless king who received the fugitive Auge as an adopted daughter rather than a wife — yet when Telephus came seeking his mother, the king still promised him marriage to the stranger he did not know was his own son.5
