'''Aglaurus''' ({{IPAc-en|ə|ˈ|ɡ|l|ɔː|r|ə|s}}; {{langx|grc|Ἄγλαυρος}}) or '''Agraulus''' ({{IPAc-en|ə|ˈ|ɡ|r|ɔː|l|ə|s}}; {{langx|grc|Ἄγραυλος}}) is a name attributed to three figures in [Greek mythology](/source/Greek_mythology).<ref>Bell, p. 16.</ref>

*Aglaurus, the daughter of [Actaeus](/source/Actaeus), the first king of [Attica](/source/Attica). She married [Cecrops](/source/Cecrops_I) and according to [Apollodorus](/source/Bibliotheca_(Pseudo-Apollodorus)) became the mother of [Erysichthon](/source/Erysichthon_of_Attica), [Agraulus](/source/Agraulus), [Herse](/source/Herse), and [Pandrosus](/source/Pandrosus);<ref>[Apollodorus](/source/Bibliotheca_(Pseudo-Apollodorus)), [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+3.14.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Agraulus 3.14.2].</ref> other authors, however, including [Pausanias](/source/Pausanias_(geographer)) and [Hyginus](/source/Gaius_Julius_Hyginus), state that the eldest daughter of the couple is "[Aglaurus](/source/Aglaurus%2C_daughter_of_Cecrops)" (see next entry), not "Agraulus".<ref>Frazer, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+3.14.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Agraulus#note1 note 1 to 3.14.2]; [Pausanias](/source/Pausanias_(geographer)), [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+1.2.6&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Aglaurus 1.2.6]; [Hyginus](/source/Gaius_Julius_Hyginus), ''[Fabulae](/source/Fabulae)'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#166 166].</ref>
*[Aglaurus](/source/Aglaurus%2C_daughter_of_Cecrops), the daughter of [Cecrops](/source/Cecrops_I) and the above Aglaurus, who was driven to suicide for ignoring a warning from the goddess [Athena](/source/Athena).<ref>[Pausanias](/source/Pausanias_(geographer)), [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+1.18.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Aglaurus 1.18.2]</ref>
*In the ''[Fabulae](/source/Fabulae)'', attributed to [Hyginus](/source/Gaius_Julius_Hyginus), Aglaurus is the child resulting from an incestuous relationship between [Erectheus](/source/Erectheus) and his daughter [Procris](/source/Procris). This genealogy is otherwise unknown.<ref>''[RE](/source/Pauly_encyclopedias)'', s.v. Aglauros, Agraulos (3); [Hyginus](/source/Gaius_Julius_Hyginus), ''[Fabulae](/source/Fabulae)'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#253 253]</ref>
