In Greek mythology Auge /ˈɔːdʒiː/ (Greek: Αὐγή) a daughter of Aleus and Neaera and priestess of Athena Alea at Tegea bore the hero Telephus to Heracles. Her father had been told by an oracle that he would be overthrown by his grandson. She secreted the baby in the temple of Athena. A scarcity of grain alerted Aleus that there was a profanation of the temple and he discovered the child.
