- Telchis or Telchin, the third king of Sicyon who reigned for 20 years. He was the son and successor of Europs, thus grandson of the primeval king Aegialeus. Telchis' heir was his own son Apis to whom was subsequently born Thelxion.
- Telchis, an Argive companion of Thelxion. The two are said to have deposed and killed the Argive Apis, son of Phoroneus and Teledice, who had left no offspring. Apis' death was later avenged on them by Argus Panoptes.
