<p>Teuthras received <a href="Auge" title="Auge">Auge</a>, the ill-fated mother of <a href="Telephus" title="Telephus">Telephus</a>, and either married her or adopted her as his own daughter. Later on, <a href="Idas" class="mw-redirect" title="Idas">Idas</a> was attempting to dethrone Teuthras and take possession of his kingdom. Telephus, who had previously been instructed by the <a href="Delphi" title="Delphi">Delphian</a> oracle to sail to Mysia if he wanted to find out who his mother was, arrived in time to provide aid for Teuthras and defeated Idas. He and Auge then recognized each other.
