Galaxy/The codex of Eurybia

In Greek mythology, Eurybia (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυβία, also Εὐρυβίη) was a minor primordial sea goddess, the daughter of Pontus and Gaia. She married the Titan Crius and bore the gods Astraeus, Perses, and Pallas. An older deity who features little in the surviving myths, her significance lies chiefly in her place as an ancestor of later divinities.

I.Family

Eurybia was a daughter of the sea god Pontus and the earth goddess Gaia, placing her among the early generation of primordial divinities associated with the sea.

She became the consort of the Titan Crius, and with him she had three sons: Astraeus, Perses, and Pallas. Through these children she stands as an ancestor of a number of later gods.

II.Mythology

Eurybia is an older and relatively minor deity. She is described as having "a heart of flint within her," an image evoking a hard or unyielding nature.

In most surviving traditions she plays no active part in the myths; her role is essentially genealogical, serving as the ancestor of other gods rather than as a figure in narrative episodes.
