Euboea (mythology)
Euboea (/juːˈbiːə/; Ancient Greek: Εὔβοια) was the name of several women in Greek mythology.
- Euboea, one of the daughters of the river-god Asterion. She and her sisters, Acraea and Prosymna, were the nurses of Hera.[1]
- Euboea, mother of Triopas[2] and possibly Arestor[3] by Phorbas.
- Euboea, a Naiad, daughter of the Boeotian river-god Asopus and of Metope.[4] Poseidon abducted her.[5] The island of Euboea was given her name.[6][7]
- Euboea, daughter of Larymnus. She and Polybus of Sicyon were possible parents of Glaucus.[8]
- Euboea, daughter of Macareus, king of Locris. She bore Apollo a son, Agreus.[9] Euboea's possible sister was Megaclite, consort of Zeus.[10]
- Euboea, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[11] or by one of his many wives.[12] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[13] Euboea with her other sisters, except for one,[14] all laid with the hero in a night,[15] a week[16] or for 50 days[17] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[18] Euboea bore Heracles a son, Olympus.[19]
- Euboea, a heroine and eponym of the island of Euboea.[20] May be identical with one of the above.
