Teucer

(Τεῦκρος).

1. A son of the river god Scamander by the nymph Idaea, was the first king of Troy, whence the Trojans are sometimes called Τευκροί. (Hdt. 7.122.) Dardanus of Samothrace came to Teucer, received his daughter Bateia or Arisbe in marriage, and afterwards besame his successor in the kingdom. (Apollod. 3.12.1; Diod. 4.75.) According to others, Dardanus was a native prince of Troy, and Scamander and Teucer immigrated into Troas from Crete, bringing with them the worship of Apollo Smintheus. (Strab. xiii. p.604; Serv. ad Aen. 3.108 ; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 29, 1302, 1306.)

Teucer

2. A son of Telamon and Hesione, of Crete, was a step-brother of Ajax, and the best archer among the Greeks at Troy. (Hom. Il. 8.281, &c., 13.170.) On his return from the Trojan war, Tela mon refused to receive him in Salamis, because he had not avenged the death of his brother Ajax, or because he had not brought with him his remains, Tecmessa, or his son Eurysaces. Teucer, therefore, in consequence of a promise of Apollo, sailed away in search of a new home. This he found in the island of Cyprus, which was given to him by Belus, king of Sidon. (Serv. ad Aen. 1.619.) He there married Eune, the daughter of Cyprus, by whom he became the father of Asteria, and founded the town of Salamis. (Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 447, 450 ; Pind. N. 4.60; Aeschyl. Pers. 896 ; Eurip. Helen. 87, &c., 146, &c.; Paus. 2.29.4 ; Hor. Carm. 1.7.21.) [L.S]

Teucer

artists.

1. A distinguished silver chaser, the last in Pliny's list of the caclatores who flourished at Rome in the last age of the republic. Pliny mentions him in the following terms, Habuit et Teucer crustarius famam. (H. N. 33.12. s. 55.)

Teucer

2. A gem-engraver, three of whose works are extant, and, by their beautiful execution, are thought to prove that the artist could not have lived later than the time of Augustus. He may therefore, perhaps, be the same as the foregoing. (Sillig, Cat. Art. s. v. ; R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, p. 156, 2d ed.) [P.S]

Teucer

(Τεῦκρος). (1) The son of the river-god Scamander by the nymph Idaea. He was the first king of Troy, whence the Trojans are sometimes called Teucri.

(2) Son of Telamon and Hesioné, was a step-brother of Aiax, and the best archer among the Greeks at Troy. He founded the town of Salamis in Cyprus, and married Euné, the daughter of Cyprus, by whom he became the father of Asteria. See Aiax; Salamis.
