Eurite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eurite or Euryte (Εὐρύτη / Eurytē) refers to two characters in Greek mythology:

  • A nymph who was the lover of Poseidon, with whom she had a son named Halirrotio. Halirrotio tried to rape Alcipe, daughter of Ares, and was killed by Ares himself. This character is sometimes confused with another nymph named Eurythe, who was also the mother of Halirrhotios but by a different father, and was sometimes referred to as Bathycleia.
