King in Mysia Summary Attacked by the Greeks thumb|left|Achilles; ancient Greek polychromatic pottery painting (dating to 300 BC) Telephus was made the heir of Teuthras' kingdom of Teuthrania in Mysia, and eventually succeeded Teuthras as its king.Hesiod (Pseudo), Catalogue of Women fr. 165 (Merkelbach–West numbering) from the Oxyrhynchus Papyri XI 1359 fr. 1 (Most, pp. 184–187; Stewart, p. 110; Grenfell and Hunt, pp. 52–55); Strabo, 12.8.4, 13.1.69; Apollodorus, 3.9.1. During Telephus' reign, in a prelude to the Trojan War, the Greeks attacked Telephus' city mistaking it for Troy.For a discussion of the expedition in Mysia and the wounding and healing of Telephus, see Hard, pp. 446–447; Gantz, pp. 576–580. Principal texts include: Proclus, Summary of the Cypria = Cypria argument 7 West, pp. 72, 73; Archilochus, POxy LXIX 4708; Hesiod (Pseudo), Catalogue of Women fr. 165 (Merkelbach–West numbering) from the Oxyrhynchus Papyri XI 1359 fr. 1 (Most, pp. 184–187; Stewart, p. 110; Grenfell and Hunt, pp. 52–55); Pindar, Isthmean 5.38–40, 8.49–50, Olympian 9.72; Hyginus, Fabulae 101; Apollodorus, E.3.17; Pausanias, 1.4.6, 9.5.14. Although Archilochus, Proclus, Apollodorus, and Pausanias all agree that the attack was a mistake, Philostratus, On Heroes 23.5–9, has a character doubt that the Greeks came to Mysia "in ignorance". Telephus routed the Greeks, killing Thersander, son of Polynices, and forcing the Greeks back to their ships.
