- Eurypyle, another name for Eurycyda who bore Eleius to Poseidon.[2]
- Eurypyle, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[3] or by one of his many wives.[4] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[5] Eurypyle with her other sisters, except for one,[6] all laid with the hero in a night,[7] a week[8] or for 50 days[9] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[10] Eurypyle bore Heracles a son, Archedicus.[11]
