Teukros son of Telamon and Hesione, who was the daughter of King Laomedon of Troy,
Teukros demanded that Ajax the Greater, his half brother,
be given a hero's funeral after he committed suicide. When he returned home after the war,
Telamon would not let him land because he felt Teukros should have been able to
prevent his brother's suicide. He went to Cyprus, where he founded a city and named it
Salamis
