Wikipedia EN
Aglaurus (/əˈɡlɔːrəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγλαυρος, lit. dewfall) or Agraulus (/əˈɡrɔːləs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγραυλος, lit. rustic one) is a name attributed to three figures in Greek mythology.
- Aglaurus, an Athenian princess as the daughter of King Actaeus. She married Cecrops and became the mother of Erysichthon, Aglaurus (see below), Herse, and Pandrosus.
- Aglaurus, also an Athenian princess as the daughter of Cecrops, who was driven to suicide for ignoring a warning from the goddess Athena.
- Aglaurus, daughter of an incestuous relationship between Erectheus and his daughter Procris. Aglaurus is also known as Aglauros (most commonly), Aglaulos, Agraulus, Agravlos, or Agraulos. Agraulos ("countryside flute") was probably the original form of the name, with the r and l commonly switched to produce the prevalent Aglauros form.

Grammatical information: PN
Meaning: daughter of Kekrops, one who fostered Erichthonios.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Explained as die klares Wasser hat, from ἀγλαός and a word for water, supposed in ἄναυρος waterless; but the latter interpretation is completely in the air. Maaß Ath. Mitt. 35, 337ff., Kretschmer Glotta 4, 346; Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 294; 414. - The adj. ἄγλαυρος = ἀγλαός, Nic. Th. 62, 441, seems an arbitrary poetical association.. Prob. Pre-Greek.
Frisk Etymology German
Ἄγλαυρος: {Áglauros}
Meaning: Tochter des Kekrops, eine der Pflegerinnen des Erichthonios, eig. die klares Wasser hat,
Etymology: von ἀγλαός und einem Wort für Wasser, das u. a. in ἄναυρος wasserlos (s. d.) enthalten ist. E. Maaß Ath. Mitt. 35, 337ff., Kretschmer Glotta 4, 346. Vgl. Usener Götternamen I35ff., Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 294; 414. — Das bei Nik. Th. 62, 441 vorkommende Adj. ἄγλαυρος = ἀγλαός scheint durch eine willkürliche dichterische Umdeutung des PN entstanden zu sein.
