Eurythemis Explained

Eurythemis should not be confused with Eurythemista.

In Greek mythology, the name Eurythemis (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυθέμιδος) may refer to the following women:

• Eurythemis, daughter of Cleoboea. According to the mythographer Apollodorus, she was the wife of King Thestius of Pleuron and mother of Althaea, Leda, Hypermnestra, Iphiclus, Evippus, Plexippus and Eurypylus.^[1]
• Eurythemis, daughter of Acastus, consort of Actor and mother of Ancaeus (who other sources call the son of Lycurgus).^[2]
• Eurythemis, daughter of Timandreus and sister of Cotto. The two sisters were honored by the Heracleidae for having supported them in their struggle for returning to Peloponnesos.^[3]
