In Greek mythology, Tegeates was a son of Lycaon, and the reputed founder and eponym of Tegea in Arcadia. Tegeates was married to Maera, daughter of Atlas, by whom he had five sons: Archedius, Gortys, Cydon, Leimon and Scephrus; Tegeates' and Maera's tombs were shown at Tegea. When Apollo and Artemis were traveling about Greece in search for those who had once refused their mother Leto to punish them, they came to Tegea, where Apollo had a private conversation with Scephrus.
