Glaucippe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glaucippe (Ancient Greek: Γλαυκίππη), in Greek mythology, is a name that may refer to:

  • Glaucippe, a Libyan princess as one of the Danaïdes, 50 daughters of King Danaus and the naiad Polyxo. She married (and murdered) Potamon, son of Aegyptus and Caliadne.[1] This Glaucippe is also mentioned by Hyginus. Due to his list of Danaids and Aegyptiads being poorly preserved, her husband's name is almost illegible here: *Niavius.[2]
  • Glaucippe, daughter of Xanthus and possible mother of Hecuba.[3]
