Telephus, a son of Heracles {see planet  (5143)} and Auge, was exposed on Mount Parthenius, nursed by a goat, and nurtured by kindly shepherds. Telephus had married a daughter of Priam {see planet  (884)}, but was so grateful to the Greeks for healing a severe wound that he fought with the Greeks against his father-in-law. An oracle had declared that Troy could not be taken against the aid of a son of Heracles. (M 25444) _ _.
