WHAT DOES TEUCRIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

King Teucer

In Greek mythology, King Teucer was said to have been the son of the river Scamander and of the nymph Idaea. Before the arrival of Dardanus, the land that would come to be called Dardania was known as Teucria and the inhabitants as Teucrians, after Teucer. According to Virgil, Teucer was originally from Crete but left that island during a great famine with a third part of its inhabitants. They settled near the Scamander river, apparently named after Teucer's father, not far from the Rhaetean promontory. However, Dionysius of Halicarnassus states that Teucer had come to the Troad from Attica where he was a chief of the Xypetȇ region. In both cases he ended up in the region which would be known as the Troad. The company is said to have been greatly annoyed by vast numbers of mice during the first night. Since Teucer had been directed by an oracle, before leaving Crete, to build a settlement in the place where he should be attacked in the night-time by an enemy spring from the earth or “where the earth-born should attack them”, he resolved to settle there. He probably founded the city of Hamaxitus and established it as his capital.
