Unsolved:Eurythemista

From HandWiki

In Greek mythology, the name Eurythemista /jʊərɪθɪˈmɪstə/[citation needed] or Eurythemiste /-ˈmɪst/ (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυθεμίστη) may refer to:

  • Eurythemista, a Calydonian princess as the daughter of King Porthaon and Laothoe.[1] She was the sister of Sterope and Stratonice, wife of King Melaneus of Oechalia.
  • Eurythemista, daughter of the river-god Xanthus, thus can be considered a naiad nymph. She is one of Pelops' and Niobe's possible mothers by Tantalus[2] (other ones being Euryanassa and Dione, daughter of Atlas).
  • Eurythemista, one of the two maidens that were wooed by Boeotus. He could not choose between the two until he saw a star fall on Eurythemiste's shoulder; he then took her to wife.[3]
