Telestes (King of Corinth)

Telestes (Ancient Greek Τελέστης Teléstēs), son of Aristomedes, was a king of Corinth.

Telestes was still a child when his father died, so his uncle and bodyguard Agemon usurped the reins. His son Alexander succeeded him to the throne of Corinth. Only when Telestes killed Alexander was he able to take over his father's government. After twelve years of reign, however, Telestes was killed by Arieus and Perantas and Automenes became his successor.
