Teleclus

Teleclus

Teleclus or Teleklos was a king of Sparta during the eighth century BC.

Pausanias reports that Teleclus' reign saw the conquest of Amyclae, Pharis and Geranthrae, towns of the Perioeci or "dwellers round about" [Pausanius, tr. W.H.S. Jones and H.A. Ormerod (1918) "Description of Greece". Robert Hale Ltd., London, Book 3, II, 6.] .

Teleclus was killed during a skirmish with the Messanians during a festival at the temple of Artemis Limnatis [Pausanias, tr. W.H.S. Jones and H.A. Ormerod (1918) "Description of Greece". Robert Hale Ltd., London, Book 4, IV, 1-3.] , an event foreshadowing the First Messenian War.

He was succeeded by his son Alcmenes or Alkamenes.
