In Greek mythology, Telchis (Ancient Greek: Τελχίς, lit. 'one of the Telchines') may refer to two different or the same characters:
- Telchis or Telchin, the third king of Sicyon who reigned for 20 years.[1] He was the son and successor of Europs, thus grandson of the primeval king Aegialeus. Telchis' heir was his own son Apis to whom was subsequently born Thelxion.[2]
- Telchis, an Argive companion of Thelxion. The two are said to have deposed and killed the Argive Apis, son of Phoroneus and Teledice, who had left no offspring.[3] Apis' death was later avenged on them by Argus Panoptes.[4]
- "Telchis" is also the singular form of "Telchines".
