GLAUCON

'Glaucon' (Greek: Γλαύκων)(bef. 389 BC, d. 409 BC) son of Ariston, was Plato's older brother. His mother was Perictione and he was born in Collytus, just outside of Athens. Glaucon was eulogized after the Battle of Megara in 409.
Glaucon is featured in many of Plato's dialogues (e.g., Parmenides, Republic and Symposium)
