Galaxy/The codex of Eurymedon

In Greek mythology, Eurymedon (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυμέδων, "ruling far and wide") was an Argonaut from Phlius, son of Dionysus and Ariadne and brother of Phlias — one of several minor figures who share the name.

I.Argonaut from Phlius

Hyginus names Eurymedon son of Liber (Dionysus) and Ariadne among the Argonauts, pairing him with the Phliasian contingent. He is brother of Phlias (Phliasus), the better-attested eponymous Argonaut of Phlius; both stand in the Peloponnesian roll of the Minyae.

II.Homonyms

This atlas entry (eurymedon-phlius) is the Phliasian Argonaut son of Dionysus and Ariadne. Distinct from many other Eurymedons: the Giant king father of Periboea; Agamemnon's and Nestor's squires in the Iliad; a son of Minos slain by Heracles on Paros; Cabiri and Theban gate-defenders; and a Titan or Giant said to have outraged Hera.
