Aglaurus
Aglaurus (/əˈɡlɔːrəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγλαυρος means 'dewfall'[1]) or Agraulus (/əˈɡrɔːləs/; Ἄγραυλος means 'rustic one'[2]) is a name attributed to three figures in Greek mythology.[3]
- Aglaurus, an Athenian princess as the daughter of King Actaeus. She married Cecrops and became the mother of Erysichthon, Aglaurus (see below), Herse, and Pandrosus.[4]
- Aglaurus, also an Athenian princess as the daughter of Cecrops, who was driven to suicide for ignoring a warning from the goddess Athena.[5]
- Aglaurus, daughter of an incestuous relationship between Erectheus and his daughter Procris.[6] Aglaurus is also known as Aglauros (most commonly), Aglaulos, Agraulus, Agravlos, or Agraulos. Agraulos ("countryside flute") was probably the original form of the name, with the r and l commonly switched to produce the prevalent Aglauros form.
