In Greek myth, Glaucus was a son of Sisyphus. His myth varies but centers on death and horses. In one version, he is killed in an accident during a chariot race. In another, he fed his horses human meat and they turned on him and ate him. In other stories he offends Aphrodite by refusing to mate his horses, so she spurs them on to slay him. His shade is said to haunt the Isthmian Games and scare the horses.
