In Greek mythology, the name Batea or Bateia ( /bəˈtiːə/ bə-TEE-ə; Ancient Greek: Βάτεια) was the daughter or (less commonly) the aunt of King Teucer. [1] [2] She was the mother of Ilus, Erichthonius, and Zacynthus. A hill in the Troad and the town Bateia were named after her.
Batia's father was the ruler of a tribe known as the Teucrians (Teucri). [3] [4] The Teucrians inhabited the area of northwest Asia Minor later called the Troad (Troas). She married King Dardanus, son of Zeus and Electra, whom Teucer named as his heir. [3] By Dardanus, Batea was the mother of Ilus, Erichthonius, and Zacynthus. [3] [5]
In some accounts, Arisbe of Crete, a daughter of Teucer, is mentioned as the wife of Dardanus. [6] Arisbe and Batea are usually assumed to be the same person.[ citation needed] According to another version of the myth, Batia was the daughter of Tros, instead of Teucer. [1]
Batea gave her name to a hill in the Troad, mentioned in the Iliad, [7] as well as to the town of Bateia. [8]
