Teucer

Statue of Teucer by Sir William Hamo Thornycroft

In Greek mythology, Teucer (/ˈtjsər/), also Teucrus, Teucros or Teucris (Ancient Greek: Τεῦκρος, romanizedTeûkros), was the son of King Telamon of Salamis Island and his second wife Hesione, daughter of King Laomedon of Troy. He fought alongside his half-brother, Ajax, in the Trojan War and is the legendary founder of the city of Salamis on Cyprus. Through his mother, Teucer was the nephew of King Priam of Troy and the cousin of Hector and Paris—all of whom he fought against in the Trojan War.
