Glaucus (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Glaucus (/ˈɡlɔːkəs/; Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος, Glaûkos means "greyish blue" or "bluish green" and "glimmering") was the name of the following figures:

- Glaucus, a mythical Lycian captain in the Trojan War.[3]
- Glaucus, son of King Minos of Crete.[4]
- Glaucus, one of the twelve younger Panes, offspring of Pan. He came to join Dionysus in his campaign against India.[5]
- Glaucus, son of Aretus and Laobie. He joined Deriades, along with his father and brothers, against Dionysus in the Indian War.[6]
- Glaucus, husband of Laophonte and father of Leda in some variants of the myth.[7] He may be the same as Glaucus, the son of Sisyphus if hypothetical deduction of genealogy be used.
