CREON, king of Corinth, was son of Sisyphus. He promised his daughter Glaucé to Jason, who had repudiated Medea. To revenge the success of her rival, Medea sent her for a present a gown covered with poison. Glaucé put it on, and was seized with sudden pains. Her body took fire, and she expired in the greatest torments. The house also was consumed by the fire, and Creon and his family shared Glaucé's fate.
