Tectaphus (India)

Tectaphus (ancient Greek Τέκταφος Téktaphos) is an Indian prince in Greek mythology.

He was thrown into a cave by King Deriades to starve to death. His daughter Eerie came to his aid. She begged the posted guards to enter, under the pretense of being allowed to close the eyes of her dying father. However, since she had just given birth to a child, her breasts were full of milk, which she gave to the father to drink. Deriades found out about the matter and, out of admiration for the daughter's love, released Tektaphos.
