The son of Herakles (Heracles) and Auge.
When the Greeks left the island of Aulis to sack Troy, they became lost and attacked the city of Teuthrania by mistake; Telephus defended Teuthrania and killed Thersandros and was wounded by Akhilleus (Achilles); Akhilleus agreed to heal Telephus’ wounds if he would assist the Greeks by leading them to Troy; Telephus accompanied the Greeks back to Argos and, in accordance with the advice of an oracle, led the Greeks to Troy but refused to fight the Trojans because he was a blood relative of king Priam.
