<< Previous : The Return of Neoptolemus
Let us recall that Teucer “the right opening to the summits of consciousness” was the bastard son of Telamon and the Trojan Hesione, and thus the half-brother of the great Ajax. First back home in Salamis, he then settled in Cyprus.
To explain his exile, some traditions say that he left Salamis following the wrath of his father who reproached him for having returned without his half-brother Ajax, the rightful heir.
Like Ajax, Teucer is a native of Salamis, symbol of a powerful call for consecration. With the “just opening to the heights of consciousness” having been achieved, it redirects itself towards the growth of love, for Cyprus (Κυπρις) is one of the names of Aphrodite.
