In Greek mythology, Teledice (Ancient Greek: Τηλεδικη, romanizedTēledikē, lit.'far-justice') is the nymph wife of the first mortal king Phoroneus of Peloponesse, and, according to Pseudo-Apollodorus, the mother of Apis and Niobe. Other sources named the consort(s) of Phoroneus as either Cerdo, Cinna, or Perimede, or Peitho.
