Tektamos

Tektamos ( Greek Τέκταμος ), also Tektaphos (Τέκταφος) or Teutamos (Τεύταμος) is in Greek mythology, a Cretan rulers and husband of the daughter of Cretheus . With her he fathered Asterios , the adoptive father of Minos , Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon .

According to Diodor (Diod. Sic. 4,60,2) Tektamos was the son of Doros , the ancestor of the Dorians , grandson of Hellen and great-grandson of Deucalion . He came from the later Hestiaiotis in Northwestern Hessen . Tektamos left his homeland of Thessaly with some settlers and moved to Crete with subsequent Aiolers and Pelasgians , where he became king of the island.

Karl Hoeck spoke out in favor of the spelling Teutamos , as the name was borrowed from Pelasger genealogies . Following this, Fred C. Woudhuizen derives the word Τεύταμος (Diod. Sic. 4,60,2) or Τευταμίας (Apollod. Bibl. 2,4,4) from the proto-Indo-European root * teutā- for " people " or " Trunk ".
