In Greek mythology, Glaucus (/ˈɡlɔːkəs/; Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος Glaukos means "shiny", "bright" or "bluish-green") 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, Glaucus fought valiantly.[1] He was described by the chronicler Malalas in his account of the Chronography as "strong, sensible, pious".[2]
