In Greek mythology, a daughter of Cecrops and Athena, often depicted as a figure who betrayed divine secrets.
From Ancient Greek Ἀγλαυρός (Aglauros). The etymology of the personal name itself is uncertain, though some scholars connect 'aglaos' (shining) as a possible root.
Aglauros appears in Ovid's Metamorphoses as a cautionary tale—she's turned into stone by Hermes as punishment, showing how ancient Greeks used mythology to explore themes of curiosity, obedience, and divine authority.
