(Εὐρυνόμη).
1. A daughter of Oceanus. When Hephaestus was expelled by Hera from Olympus, Eurynome and Thetis received him in the bosom of the sea. (Hom. Il. xviii, 395, &c.; Apollod. 1.2.2.) Previous to the time of Cronos and Rhea, Eurynome and Ophion had ruled in Olympus over the Titans, but after being conquered by Cronos, she had sunk down into Tartarus or Oceans. (Apollon. 1.503, &c.; Tzetz. ad Ly/coph. 1191.) By Zeus she became the mother of the Charites, or of Asopus. (Hes. Th. 908; Apollod. 3.12.6.)
2. A surname of Artemis at Phiglea in Arcadia. Her sanctuary which was surrounded by cypresses, was opened only once in every year, and sacrifices were then offered to her. She was represented half woman and half fish. (Paus. 8.41.4.) There are four more mythical personages of this name. (Hom. Od. 18.168; Apollod. 3.9.2.), [Adrastus, Agenor.] [L.S]
