Aglaurus
Several figures in Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aglaurus (/əˈɡlɔːrəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγλαυρος) or Agraulus (/əˈɡrɔːləs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγραυλος) is a name attributed to three figures in Greek mythology.[1]
- Aglaurus, the daughter of Actaeus, the first king of Attica. She married Cecrops and according to Apollodorus became the mother of Erysichthon, Agraulus, Herse, and Pandrosus;[2] other authors, however, including Pausanias and Hyginus, state that the eldest daughter of the couple is "Aglaurus" (see next entry), not "Agraulus".[3]
- Aglaurus, the daughter of Cecrops and the above Aglaurus, who was driven to suicide for ignoring a warning from the goddess Athena.[4]
- In the Fabulae, attributed to Hyginus, Aglaurus is the child resulting from an incestuous relationship between Erectheus and his daughter Procris. This genealogy is otherwise unknown.[5]
