Telecleia

Telecleia is presented in the genealogical records of the Trojan myth cycle as a daughter of Ilus, king of Troy. The sources differ on the identity of her mother, giving alternate traditions that name Eurydice or Leucippe as her mother; this variance reflects the multiplicity of genealogical traditions in Greek myth. Through marriage she is placed in the royal house of Thrace as the wife of King Cisseus, and through motherhood she connects Trojan dynastic lines to later figures such as Theano and, in some traditions, Hecuba.

No ancient descriptive material for Telecleia survives in the supplied sources; extant attestations are limited to name-lists and genealogical entries (as preserved in summaries such as Apollodorus and Hyginus as cited by modern reference works). Consequently there are no recorded physical attributes, costume details, or iconographic conventions associated with her in the provided materials.

The supplied sources attribute no supernatural abilities, individual heroic exploits, or cultic functions to Telecleia. Her role in the tradition is strictly genealogical: she is recorded as spouse and mother within Trojan and Thracian royal lineages, and she appears only as a named node that situates better-attested figures within family trees.
