Glauce
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In Greek mythology, Glauce (/ˈɡlɔːsiː/; Ancient Greek: Γλαυκή "blue-gray"), Latin Glauca, refers to different people:
- Glauce, daughter of Creon. She married Jason. She was killed, along with her father, by Medea, who either sent her a peplos steeped in flammable poison or set fire to the royal palace.[1][2] In the local Corinthian tradition, Glauce threw herself into a well in a vain attempt to wash off Medea's poison; from this circumstance the well became known as the Well of Glauce.[3] Also known by the name Creusa, predominantly in Latin authors, e.g. Seneca (Medea) and Propertius (2.16.30). Hyginus (Fab. 25) uses both names interchangeably.
- Glauce, one of the Nereids.[4][5][6]
- Glauce, one of the Danaids, daughter of Danaus. She married Alces, son of Aegyptus and an Arabian woman.[7]
- Glauce, daughter of Cychreus, son of Poseidon and Salamis. Some sources say that Glauce married Actaeus and bore him a son Telamon.[8] Others say that Telamon was her husband and that, after her death, he married Periboea, mother of Ajax.[9]
- Glauce, an Arcadian nymph, one of the nurses of Zeus.[10]
- Glauce, an Amazon.[11] Some say that it was she, and not Antiope, who was abducted by Theseus and became his wife.[12][13]
- Glauce, daughter of Cycnus, sister of Cobis and Corianus. During the Trojan campaign, she was taken captive by the Greeks and was given to Ajax,[14] by whom she became mother of Aeantides.[15]
- Glauce, one of the Melian nymphs.[16]
- Glauce, mother, by Upis, of "the third" Artemis in Cicero's rationalized genealogy of the Greek gods.[17]
- Glauce, twin sister of Pluto who died as an infant according to Euhemerus.[18]
