Bateia
Βάτεια
(Βάτεια), a daughter of Teucer or of Tros (Steph. Byz. s. v. Δάρδανος), the wife of Dardanus, and mother of Ilus and Erichthonius. The town of Bateia in Troas was believed to have derived its name from her. (Arrian, apud Eustath. ad Hom. p. 351.) Tzetzes (ad Lycoph. 29) calls her a sister cf Scamander, the father of Teucer by the nymph Idaea; and in another passage (ad Lycoph. 1298) he calls the daughter of Teucer, who married Dardanus, by the name of Arisbe, and describes Erichthonius as her son, and Ilus as her grandson. A Naiad of the name of Bateia occurs in Apollodorus. (3.10.4.)
