In Literature and Art
Aeschylus wrote a play on Glaucus, entitled Glaucus Pontius ("Glaucus of the Sea"), now lost. A work entitled Glaucus also belonged to Callimachus (it is unclear though which Glaucus was its subject).
The Roman author Velleius Paterculus made mention of Plancus, who performed in the role of Glaucus at a feast.
Scylla et Glaucus, an opera by Jean-Marie Leclair, was based on the myth of Glaucus' love for Scylla recorded in Ovid.
A statue of Glaucus was installed in 1911 in the middle of the Fontana delle Naiadi, Mario Rutelli's fountain of four naked bronze nymphs, located in the Piazza Repubblica, Rome.

Famous quotes containing the words literature and/or art:
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”

Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority—promote decentralization.

Computers can change your life for the better.”
