Glaucus
Also known as: Hippolochus' hero-son / Hippolochus' son / famed Hippolochus' son / the war-wise son of Hippolochus · Family: The Trojans · Role: warrior · First appears: Book III · Part 2
In Book III, Aias killed Glaucus, Hippolochus’ son; his death left Erymas’ friend “blood Of famed Hippolochus' son” horror-chilled. Aeneas rescued Glaucus’ corpse and gave it to his sorrowing friends to carry to Ilium.
In Book IV, the Trojans laid Glaucus upon a funeral pyre before the Dardanian gate, but Apollo rescued him from the fire and carried him to Lycia-land. Later, Chlemus was named as Glaucus’ loyal comrade, and Scylaceus as his warrior-comrade.
