Telandrus or Telandros (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Τήλανδρος), also known as Telandros akre (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Τηλανδρία ἄκρα)[1] was a town on Telandria island in ancient Caria. It was a polis (city-state), and a member of the Delian League since it appears in tribute records of Athens between the years 453/2 and 433/2 BCE.[2]
Pliny the Elder mentions Telandria (modern Tersane) as an island from which the population had disappeared. However, Quintus Smyrnaeus notes Telandrus as the name of a valley near the Glaucus River, so called because it was the place where tradition indicated that the mythical Glaucus of Lycia (of Trojan War fame) was buried.[3] It has been suggested that the site may be at Tersane or Avthoki or at Nif Köy in the interior of Caria.[2]
