This Teres is in no way related to Tereus who married Pandion's daughter
Procne from Athens; nor indeed did they belong to the same part of Thrace.
Tereus lived in Daulis, part of what is now called Phocis, but which at
that time was inhabited by Thracians.
It was in this land that the women perpetrated the outrage upon Itys; and many of the poets when they mention the nightingale call it the Daulian
bird.
Besides, Pandion in contracting an alliance for his daughter would consider
the advantages of mutual assistance, and would naturally prefer a match at
the above moderate distance to the journey of many days which separates
Athens from the Odrysians.
Again the names are different; and this Teres was king of the Odrysians, the first by the way who attained
to any power.
