Telemnastus (gr. Τηλέμναστος), a Cretan, whom Perseus sent to Antiochus Epiphanes, in B. C. 168, to urge him by every motive of self-interest to side with him against Rome. (Polyb. xxix. 3.) We may perhaps identify this person with the Telemnastus, a Gortynian, who with 500 men effectually aided the Achaeans in their war with Nabis. (Polyb. xxxiii. 15.)
