WHAT DOES GLAUCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Glauce

In Greek mythology, Glauce, 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 inflammable poison or set fire to the royal palace. 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. Also known by the name Creusa, predominantly in Latin authors, e.g. Seneca and Propertius. Hyginus uses both names interchangeably. ▪ Glauce, one of the Nereids. ▪ Glauce, one of the Danaids, daughter of Danaus. She married Alces, son of Aegyptus and an Arabian woman. ▪ Glauce, daughter of Cychreus, son of Poseidon and Salamis. Some sources say that Glauce married Actaeus and bore him a son Telamon. Others say that Telamon was her husband and that, after her death, he married Periboea, mother of Ajax. ▪ Glauce, an Arcadian nymph, one of the nurses of Zeus. ▪ Glauce, an Amazon. Some say that it was she, and not Antiope, who was abducted by Theseus and became his wife.
