Teledice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Teledice (Ancient Greek: Τηλεδικη Têledikê means "far-reaching"), also called Laodice[citation needed], the nymph wife of the first mortal king Phoroneus of Peloponesse, thus mother of Apis and Niobe.[1] Other sources called the consort(s) of Phoroneus as either Cerdo,[2] Cinna,[3] or Perimede,[4] or Peitho.[5]
