Originally a fisherman from Anthedon in Boeotia, Glaucus accidentally discovered a herb that brought fish back to life and deciding to taste it himself. He was inadvertently turned into a merman-like being and was thus forced to forever dwell in the ocean. He was welcomed by Oceanus and Tethys, who taught him the gift of prophecy. Glaucus later settled near the island of Delos, prophesying to those who requested it. He later taught the art of prophecy to Apollo, who was born on Delos.
