In Greek mythology, Telecleia (Ancient Greek: Τηλέκλεια) was a Trojan princess as the daughter of King Ilus of Troy and possibly, Eurydice or Leucippe.[1] She was the (half) sister of Laomedon, Tithonius and Themiste.[2] Telecleia married King Cisseus of Thrace and therefore, the mother of Theano, wife to Antenor, and also a possible mother of Hecuba.[3][4]
