God

Glaucus was a Greek sea-god, the son of Anthedon and Alcyone. The story of his origin is made into a Roman entertainment by Ovid, that he began as a mortal fisherman living in the Boeotian city of Anthedon and one day he caught and landed some fish at a place where there grew an herb with the magic property of resuscitating fish and allowing them to return to the water. Seeing this effect the herb had on the fish, Glaucus ate some of it too. The herb made him immortal, but it also gave him fins and caused his legs to transform into a fish's tail, forcing him to dwell forever in the sea. Glaucus was initially upset by this side-effect, but Oceanus and Tethys received him well and he was quickly accepted among the deities of the sea, learning the art of prophecy at which they were skilled.

Glaucus fell in love with the sea-goddess Scylla, who rejected him due to his piscine form. He consulted with Circe for a solution but she became passionately in love with him herself. Since Glaucus cared only for Scylla, however, Circe turned her into a fishlike monster from the waist down, with a row of vicious dog's heads round her loins. She went to live alone in a submerged cave overlooking a narrow channel of water, but Glaucus remained in love with her and mourned her transformation.

Soldier

Glaucus was a son of Hippolochus and a grand son of Bellerophon. He was a captain in the Lycian army under the command of his close friend and cousin Sarpedon. The Lycians in the Trojan War were allies of Troy. During the war Glaukus fought valiantly. In the Illiad he met Diomedes in the field of battle in face to face combat. In response to Diomedes challenge to him, Glaukus said that as a grandson of Bellerophon he would fight anybody. On learning of Glaukus' ancestory Diomedes planted his spear in the ground and told of how his grandfather Oeneus was a close friend of Bellerophon, and declared that the two of them despite being on opposing sides should continue the friendship. As a sign of freindship Diomedes took off his bronze armour and gave it to Glaukus. Glaukus then had his wits taken by Zeus and gave Diomedes his gold armour. Glaukus was in the division of Sarpedon and Asteropaios when the Trojans assulted the greek wall. Their division fought valiantly causing Hector to break through the wall. During this assult Glaukus was wounded from an arrow shot by Teucer forcing him to withdrawl from combat. Later, upon seeing Sarpedon mortally wounded, Glaukus asked for Apollo to help him rescue the body of his dying friend. Apollo cured his wound and Glaukus rallied the Trojans around the body as they fought off the Greeks until the gods took the body away. Later in the war, when fighting over Achilles corpse took place, Glaukus was killed by Telamonian Aias the Great. His body was recued by Aeneas and was then taken by Apollo to Lycia for funeral rites. For other uses, see Bellerophon (disambiguation). ...
