'King Glaukias' (Ancient Greek: Γλαυκίας, "glaring", from 'γλαυκός' ''glaukos'' "glaring")^[1], was an Illyrian of the Taulanti tribe, reigned over Illyria from 317 BC to 303 BC. In 314 BC, Glaukias was defeated by Cassander, successor of Alexander the Great.

Glaukias adopted Pyrrhus, the well-known Molossian prince and later king of Epirus.
