Teushpa

Teushpa was an early 7th-century BC king of the Cimmerians but is also mentioned as king of the Umman-Manda according to King Esarhaddon's inscriptions. In 679 BC, he commanded the Cimmerians in battle against the Assyrians under Esarhaddon, but lost the battle.[1]

His name recalls that of his contemporary Teispes (Chishpish) of the Achaemenids, though they do not seem to be etymologically related.[2]

gollark: See, people complain about unconscious bias a lot. So I thought "well, ignoring all the issues about consciousness in software or whatever, surely it would be better if it didn't have this". And the "conscious" well-documented bias outweighs any possible *un*conscious bias loads!
gollark: Well, if I was being really clever, I would CLAIM to remove the autobias code, document it as unbiased, and make it appear unbiased, *but* have a mode where it enables bias *only* when asking for one randomly picked item.
gollark: What about it?
gollark: Other bots might be biased and NOT tell you.
gollark: It's well-documented bias, APIOFORM.
