Aglaia (mythology)
Aglaea (/əˈɡliːə/) or Aglaïa (/əˈɡlaɪə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀγλαΐα means 'splendor, brilliant, shining one'[1]) is the name of several figures in Greek mythology:[2]
- Aglaia, one of the three Charites.
- Aglaea, the goddess/personification of the glow of good health, and a daughter of Asclepius and Epione. Her sisters are Hygieia, Panacea, Aceso, and Iaso,[3][4] and her brothers were Machaon, Podaleirios and Telesphoros.
- Aglaea or Ocalea, daughter of Mantineus. She married Abas and had twins: Acrisius and Proetus.[5]
- Aglaea, mother of Melampus and Bias by Amythaon.[6]
- Aglaea, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[7] or by one of his many wives.[8] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[9] Aglaia with her other sisters, except for one,[10] all laid with the hero in a night,[11] a week[12] or for 50 days[13] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[14] Aglaia bore Heracles a son, Antiades.[15]
- Aglaea, a nymph. She is the mother, by Charopus, of Nireus.[16]
