Glaucia

According to the classical account summarized in modern reference works (see Plutarch cited in Smith's Dictionary via modern summaries), Glaucia is said to be a daughter of the Trojan river-god Scamander. During Heracles' expedition against Troy, Deimachus, a Boeotian companion of Heracles, fell in love with Glaucia; after Deimachus was slain she sought refuge with Heracles, who took her to Greece and entrusted her to Eleon (father of Deimachus). In Boeotia she bore a son, whom she named Scamander; that son later obtained a tract of land traversed by two streams, which he called Scamander and Glaucia, and his family (including his wife Acidusa and their three daughters) became associated with local cult practice. (Summary based on the account preserved in classical paraphrase as given in modern reference: Wikipedia: Glaucia, drawing on Plutarch/Smith's Dictionary.)

The consulted sources provide no physical description of Glaucia. She is identified by parentage as a daughter of the river-god Scamander (Ancient Greek: Γλαυκία) but no bodily or vestmental attributes are recorded in the available summaries.

The sources attribute no supernatural powers or recurrent magical behaviors to Glaucia herself. Her role in the narratives is social and genealogical: she flees for refuge, is cared for by Heracles and Eleon, bears and names a son (Scamander), and thus provides eponymy for local waterways. Cultic associations in the account attach to her son's family (the son's three daughters were worshipped as 'the three maidens'), not to Glaucia acting as an autonomous cult figure.
