Glauce

In Greek mythology, Glauce (/ˈɡlɔːsiː/; Ancient Greek: Γλαυκή "blue-gray"), Latin Glauca, refers to different people:

1. 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.
2. Glauce, one of the Nereids.^[4][5][6]
3. Glauce, one of the Danaids, daughter of Danaus. She married Alces, son of Aegyptus and an Arabian woman.^[7]
4. 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]
5. Glauce, an Arcadian nymph, one of the nurses of Zeus.^[10]
6. Glauce, an Amazon.^[11] Some say that it was she, and not Antiope, who was abducted by Theseus and became his wife.^[12][13]
7. 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]
8. Glauce, one of the Melian nymphs.^[16]
9. Glauce, mother, by Upis, of "the third" Artemis in Cicero's rationalized genealogy of the Greek gods.^[17]
10. Glauce, twin sister of Pluto who died as an infant according to Euhemerus.^[18]
