In Greek mythology, Eurydameia (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυδάμειαν) was the daughter of King Phyleus of Dulichium, son of King Augeas of Elis.[1]
Mythology
editEurydameia was the mother of the seer Polyidus’ children: Euchenor and Cleitus,[1] and possibly of Coeranus, Astycrateia and Manto.[2] As a daughter of Phyleus, her probable mothers were Eustyoche,[3] Ctimene,[4] Ctesimache,[5] Hagnete,[6] or Timandra[7] and thus, a (half-)sister of Meges, one of the Achaean Leaders during the Trojan War.[8]
