In Greek mythology, Teledice (Ancient Greek: Τηλεδικη Têledikê means "far-reaching"), the nymph wife of the first mortal king Phoroneus of Peloponesse, thus mother of Apis and Niobe.[1] Other sources called the consort(s) of Phoroneus as either Cerdo,[2] Cinna,[3] or Laodice also a nymph[4] or Perimede,[5] or Peitho and Europe.[6]
Teledice may be an Argive naiad and perhaps an Oceanid or a daughter of the river-god Inachus.
