Glaukos (1)Glaukus

A Trojan ally from Lykia; the son of Hippolokhos (Hippolochos); the grandson of Bellerophontes (Bellerophon).

In the last year of the siege of the city of Troy, Glaukos faced the Greek hero, Diomedes, and told the story of his lineage and the tale of Bellerophontes; Diomedes said that his grandfather, Oineus, had been a guest-friend of Bellerophontes and, as the grandsons of these two men, it was not proper for them to fight; they got down from their chariots and exchanged armor (Zeus took Glaukos’ senses away because he exchanged his golden armor for Diomedes’ bronze armor).

His name may also be rendered as Glaucos or Glaucus.
