Abstract

The mythical figure Telephus, son of Heracles, was the king of the Mysians. When his kingdom was attacked by the Greeks mistakenly landing in Mysia on their way to the Trojan War, he was wounded by Achilles’ spear. When the wound would not heal, Telephus consulted an oracle and was told: “He that wounded shall heal”; and indeed the same spear that wounded became the instrument of his healing.
