Glauce

In Greek mythology, Glauce (Ancient Greek: Γλαυκή "blue-gray"), Latin Glauca, refers to different people:
#Glauce, daughter of Creon. She married Jason. She was killed, along with her father, by Medea, who either sent her a peplos steeped in inflammable poison or set fire to the royal palace.Bibliotheca 1. 9. 28Diodorus Siculus, Library of History, 4. 54. 2 - 6 In the local Corinthian tradition, Glauce threw herself into a well in a vain attempt to wash off Medea's poison; from this circumstance the well became known as the Well of Glauce.Pausanias, Description of Greece, 2. 3. 6 Also known by the name Creusa, predominantly in Latin authors, e.g. Seneca (Medea) and Propertius (2.16.30).
