Telephus
This article is about Telephus the son of Heracles. The name also refers to the father of Cyparissus. A Greek mythological figure, Telephus or Telephos (Greek: Τήλεφος, "far-shining") was one of the Heraclidae, the sons of Heracles, who were venerated as founders of cities. Telephos was by far the most famous of these heroes, and the various sites at which libations were offered to placate his spirit occasioned etiological myths of travels around the Greek mainland, in Magna Graecia and in Ionia. As with other heroes, a series of episodic epiphanies can be chronologically ordered and a rationalized "biography" synthesized.
