Greek Myth XLIV: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book III, Chapter III – Glaucus, or Who Knew Honey Was So Dangerous?!?

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inBackground

Glaucus dies. But don’t be nervous. It will all be all right in the end.

Discussion Prompts

  1. Why do you think the color-changing cow is important? Why do you think that is the test for identifying the person who will save Glaucus?
  2. Spit-swapping. Discuss.
  3. Are there other myths or legends that involve drowning in honey? If you know one, please share!
  4. AP Credit: What does this story have to say about fate and prophecy?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
