Glaucus (1) Greek The most famous Glaucus was the grandson of Bellerophon, a hero in the Iliad. Glaucus fought on the Trojan side during the Trojan War. He and the Greek hero Diomedes (1) discovered that their grandparents had been friends, so the two exchanged armor and vows of friendship. Another of Glaucus's friends was Sarpedon. When Sarpedon was killed, Glaucus appealed to the god Apollo to help him retrieve the body. This he did, with the help of the hero Hector. Ajax (1) eventually killed Glaucus in battle. Glaucus (2) Greek The son of Sisyphus and father of Bellerophon and owner of a famous herd of mares. However, Glaucus refused to let them breed, thus incurring the anger of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Aphrodite drove the mares mad and they tore Glaucus to pieces in their frenzy. Glaucus (3) Greek This Glaucus was born a human but by chance ate an herb that made him immortal. He became a prominent sea god, pictured as a merman, his top half human and his lower half a fish tail. Glaucus was a lesser god, but he had the power of seeing into the future, and this gift made him a favorite deity of sailors and fishermen, who paid him special attention. Glaucus is said to have traveled the entire coast of the Mediterranean Sea each year, visiting each of its ports on that journey. Glaucus was either the son of a fisherman from Anthedon or the son of the great sea god Poseidon.
