Glaucias (physician, 3rd Century BC)
Glaucias ( el, Γλαυκίας; c. 3rd century BC) was a Greek physician of the Empiric school who wrote commentaries on the works of Hippocrates. He belonged to the Empiric school, and lived after Serapion of Alexandria, and before Heraclides of Tarentum, and therefore probably in the 3rd or 2nd century BC. Galen mentions him as one of the earliest commentators on the whole of the Hippocratic Corpus, and he also wrote an alphabetical glossary on the difficult words occurring in the Hippocratic collection. His commentaries on Hippocrates are several times quoted and referred to by Galen. It is uncertain whether he is the person quoted by Pliny Pliny may refer to: People * Pliny the Elder (23–79 CE), ancient Roman nobleman, scientist, historian, and author of ''Naturalis Historia'' (''Pliny's Natural History'') * Pliny the Younger (died 113), ancient Roman statesman, orator, w ....Pliny, ''H.

Glaucias Of Macedon
Glaucias of Macedon ( grc, Γλαυκίας) was an officer of the Companion cavalry at the Battle of Gaugamela. He may be the Glaucias who, on Cassander's orders, murdered Alexander IV of Macedon and his mother Roxana in the citadel of Amphipolis. Defenders of the Argead dynasty began to declare that Alexander IV, at the age of 14, should now rule on his own and that a regent was no longer needed. Cassander realized that to secure his rule Alexander would need to be removed, and in 309 BC he commanded Glaucias to assassinate the Alexander IV and his mother. The orders were carried out, and they were both poisoned. The consensus in ''A History of Macedonia Vol. 3'' is that Alexander was killed late in the summer of 309 BC, shortly after his alleged half-brother Heracles. One of the royal tombs discovered by the archaeologist Manolis Andronikos in the so-called "Great Tumulus" in Vergina Vergina ( el, Βεργίνα, ''Vergína'' ) is a small town in northern Greece, part ...

Glaucias Of Taulantii
Glaucias ( grc, Γλαυκίας; ruled c. 335 – c. 295 BC) was a ruler of the Taulantian kingdom which dominated southern Illyrian affairs in the second half of the 4th century BC. Glaucias is first mentioned as bringing a considerable force to the assistance of Bardylis' son Cleitus, an Illyrian prince who revolted against Alexander the Great, in the battle of Pelium 335 BC. They were, however, both defeated, and Cleitus was forced to take refuge within the Taulantian territories, whither Alexander did not pursue him, his attention being called elsewhere by the news of the revolt of Thebes. We next hear of Glaucias, nearly 20 years later, as affording an asylum to the infant Pyrrhus, when his father Aeacides was driven out of Epirus; Glaucias' wife Beroea belonged to the Molossian Aeacidae. By this measure he gave offence to Cassander, who sought to gain possession of Epirus for himself, and who in vain offered Glaucias 200 talents to give up the child. Not long after ...
