In
Greek mythology, Idaea or Idaia (
Ancient Greek: Ἰδαία means 'she who comes from Ida' or 'she who lives on Ida')
[1] was a
nymph, presumably of
Mount Ida in the ancient
Troad region of western
Anatolia (in modern-day
Turkey). She was the mother, by the
river-god Scamander, of
Teucer, who was the first to rule as a king over the region known later as
Troy.
