Creon
(
Κρέων).
1. A mythical king of Corinth, a son of Lycaethus. (
Hyg. Fab. 25, calls him a son of Menoecus, and thus confounds him with Creon of Thebes.) His daughter, Glauce, married Jason, and Medeia, who found herself forsaken, took vengeance by sending Glauce a garment which destroyed her by fire when she put it on. (
Apollod. 1.9.28; Schol.
ad Eurip. Med. 20.)
According to Hyginus (
l.c.) Medeia's present consisted of a crown, and Creon perished with his daughter, who is there called Creusa. (Comp.
Diod. 4.54.)
