Glaucus

A son of Hippolochus, and grandson of Bellerophon. He was a Lycian prince, and led his hosts from Xanthus to the assistance of Priam in the war with the Greeks.1 He was one of the most eminent heroes on the side of the Trojans, and connected with Diomedes by ties of hospitality, which shows a very early intercourse between the Greeks and Lycians.2

He was slain by Ajax, but his body was carried back to Lycia.3
