Apollodorus
3.12.1
 * Electra, daughter of Atlas, had two sons, Iasion and Dardanus, by Zeus. Now Iasion loved Demeter, and in an attempt to defile the goddess he was killed by a thunderbolt. Grieved at his brother's death, Dardanus left Samothrace and came to the opposite mainland. That country was ruled by a king, Teucer, son of the river Scamander and of a nymph Idaea, and the inhabitants of the country were called Teucrians after Teucer. Being welcomed by the king, and having received a share of the land and the king's daughter Batia, he built a city Dardanus, and when Teucer died he called the whole country Dardania.

Diodorus Siculus

 * The first to rule as king over the land of Troy [p. 55] was Teucrus, the son of the river-god Scamandrus and a nymph of Mt. Ida;27
 * 27 This nymph was later known by the name Idaea.

 * Idaea (Ἰδαια) This is a name which means 'she who comes from Ida' or 'she who lives on Ida'. Several heroines have the name, including:
 * 1. A Nymph who from her union with the river-god Scamander gave birth to Teucer, the king of the Teucrians on the coast of Asia Minor opposite Samothrace (Table 7).

 * A nymph of Mount Ida, near Troy. Teucer, the indigenous king [p. 316] of the region of Troy, was called a son of Idaea and Scamander, god of a local river. Teucer's daughter, Bateia, and the immigrant Dardanus were forebears of the Trojan royal line. [Apollodorus 3.21.1.]
