Glaucus
Γλαῦκος
Son of Sisyphus, father of Bellerophon — torn apart by his own racing mares.
He was king of Corinth, son of Sisyphus and father of Bellerophon.
To make his chariot mares fierce he kept them from mating — one version says he fed them human flesh — and he is said to have been torn apart by those same mares at the races.
His son Bellerophon tamed the flying horse Pegasus. Set side by side: a house made by horses and unmade by them.
Commonly confused
The name belongs to several figures. The fisherman who became a sea god Glaucus is unrelated, but the Lycian Glaucus of the Iliad, who traded golden armor for bronze, is Bellerophon's grandson — this Glaucus's great-grandson.
