The Fountain of Glauke in Corinth, Greece, is an ancient rock-cut fountain house named after Glauke, the daughter of King Creon. According to myth, Glauke met a tragic fate after being gifted a poisoned robe by Medea. The fountain itself dates back to the 6th century BCE and is carved directly into the limestone bedrock. It consists of a series of chambers and water channels, which were originally fed by natural springs.
