Telephos, the son of Herakles and Auge, became King of Mysia, and when the Greeks landed there in their first attempt to reach Troy, he fought against them.
He had, however, incurred the wrath of Dionysos through neglect of his worship, and, in his fight against the Greeks, caught his foot in a vine which sprang forth unexpectedly from the ground, tripped, and was wounded in the thigh by the spear of Achilles.
