Does anyone else know the creation myth of Glacus?
Here is a summary
Guy named Glacus fishing sees his fish he caught jump out of his net and thinking its the grass he east some. He runs in the ocean and gets turned into a merman/ sea god.
And later yadda yadda he likes Scylla and Circe turns her into evil multiple headed SCYLLA out of jealousy.
yess i have a fascination withMerfolk.

Well, I googled "Glaucus" and got this site: http://www.online-mythology.com/glaucus_scylla/

It seems fairly descriptive, but you pretty much already hit on all the main points that they do in your post... and it's pretty much the same as the information I found on wikipedia. I'll keep an eye out for more, but I don't know if there's much more information avaliable on this myth.

Only thing is, there seems to be some dissention as to whether it was the grass that transformed him, or the gods Tethys and Oceanus. That one URL I posted says that the grass made him long for the water so much that he forsook the land and jumped in to live there, then the afforementioned sea gods liked him and so they transformed him into a god (that being when he got the fins and all).

well that was certainly eye opening as apposed to a man falling of a pier after eating grass and truning into a fish man. i really should burn that book.
Thanks set
