History of the Peloponnesian War
Father of Sitalces and founder of the great Odrysian kingdom in Thrace.
Now this Teres, the father of Sitalces, was the first who founded the great kingdom of the Odrysae on a larger scale than those in the rest of Thrace;
On the other hand, Teres, besides not having the same name, was the first king of the Odrysae that attained to any power.
Thus Sitalces son of Teres, king of the Thracians, became an ally of the Athenians, as also did Perdiccas son of Alexander, king of the Macedonians.
Anabasis
Ancestor of Seuthes remembered for suffering losses against the Thynians.
For there was a story that in time gone by Teres, an ancestor of Seuthes, being in this region with a large army, lost many of his troops and was robbed of his baggage train at the hands of the people of this neighbourhood;
this was beyond the domain of Maesades, being the land of Teres the Odrysian.
Philip’s Letter
Thracian figure whom Athenian decrees allegedly present as entitled to rule part of Thrace.
In your decrees you order me in so many words to leave Thrace to the rule of Teres and Cersobleptes, because they are Athenians.
Now, if you can persuade either of these peoples to restore their exiled tyrants, then you may apply to me for as much of Thrace as was ruled by Teres and Cersobleptes.
