Eurypylus (son of Poseidon)
Greek mythological figure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Eurypylus (/jʊəˈrɪpɪləs/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύπυλος, romanized: Eurupulos, lit. 'wide-gated') was a son of Poseidon[1][2] and the Pleiad Celaeno.[3] According to a scholium on the Argonautica he was a king of Cyrene and the brother of Eupemus and Lycus, who were also referred to as Eurytus and Lycaon.[3] Eurypylus married Sterope, a daughter of Helios and had two sons, Lycaon and Leucippus.[4][5] Triton assumed his shape when he encountered the Argonauts in Libya.[2][1] This Eurypylus must not be confused with another son of Poseidon named Eurypylus, king of Cos.
