In the mythographic accounts Teutamides is presented as a member of a royal genealogical line of Thessaly: he is named as a son of Amyntor and described as a great-grandson of Pelasgus. He is recorded as fathering at least two sons, Nanas and Lethus; Lethus in turn is named as the father of Hippothous and Pylaeus, who are later participants in the Trojan War. Teutamides thus functions as a dynastic link that connects foundational figures (e.g., Pelasgus) to epic-age actors recorded by classical authors.
Classical sources that record Teutamides provide no physical description or iconographic detail. He is known from genealogical and king-list material and is referred to only by his familial and political status as king of Larissa rather than by bodily or visual traits.
Ancient authors do not attribute supernatural powers or magical abilities to Teutamides. His narrative role in the surviving sources is genealogical and political: he is presented as a king and an ancestor within Thessalian dynastic narratives rather than as a being with extraordinary capacities.
