A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

1. An eminent rhapsodist, or expositor of Homer, mentioned by Plato, in conjunction with Metrodorus of Lampsacus, and Stesimbrotus of Thasos. (Ion. p. 530d.; see the notes of Mülller and Nitzsch.)

2. A writer on Homer, quoted by Aristotle. (Poet. 25: this is one of the passages which Ritter considers as the additions of a later writer; he believes that Glaucon lived after Aristotle.)

3. Of Tarsus, also a writer on Homer, and apparently the head of a grammatical school. He wrote a work entitled γλῶσσαι. (Schol. ad Hom. Il. i. l; Athen. 11.480f.)

4. Of Teos, a writer on recitation. (Aristot. Rh. 3.1.)
