Glauke (Arcadian nymph)
Glauke ( ancient Greek Γλαύκη ) is a nymph of Greek mythology .
It is only known from a report by Pausanias , according to which it was depicted on an altar dedicated to Athena in the Arcadian city of Tegea . According to the report of Pausanias, the altar was considered to be the foundation of the seer Melampus , the son of Amythaon . The center of the altar showed the goddess Rhea and the nymph Oinoe , who holds the infant Zeus in her arms. The group was flanked by four nymphs each: on one side were Glauke, Neda , Theisoa and Anthrakia , on the other Ide , Hagno , Alkinoë and Phrixa .
