The genus Glycera is a group of polychaetes (bristle worms) commonly known as bloodworms. They are typically found on the bottom of shallow marine waters, and some species (e.g. the common blood worm, Glycera dibranchiata), are extensively harvested along the Northeastern coast of the United States for use as bait in fishing. Another common species is the tufted gilled bloodworm, G. americana.
Glycera (the sweet one) was a popular name often used for Hellenistic hetaerae, held by:
- The daughter of Thalassis and the mistress of Harpalus and Menander. (Athen. xiii. pp. 586, 595, 605, &c.)
- The mistress of Pausias, born in Sicyon.
- A favourite of Horace. (Hor. Carm. i. 19. 30. iii. 19.29.)
- Nominally, Alcibiades's sexual partner in Caracci's engravings for I Modi.
Glycera may refer to:
- Glycera (genus), genus of bloodworm
- Glycera (courtesan), popular name for Hellenistic courtesans
