Euryte
multiple Greek mythological figures
In Greek mythology, the name Euryte (; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύτη, lit. 'broadness, width') may refer to the following women:
Euryte, the nymph mother of Halirrhothius by Poseidon. She may be the same with Bathycleia, another name for the mother of Halirrhothius.
Euryte, the daughter of Hippodamas in the Bibliotheca, a 2nd-century AD mythological compendium by the mythographer Apollodorus. By Porthaon, the king of Calydon, she was the mother of Oeneus, Agrius, Leucopeus, Melas, Alcathous and Sterope.
The name of one the numerous daughters of Thespius, the founder of Thespiae, catalogued by Apollodorus was traditionally rendered as Eurýkē (Εὐρύκη). The philologist Richard Wagner emended this name to Eurýtē (Εὐρύτη). Apollodorus states that this figure is the mother of Teleutagoras by the hero Heracles.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Euryte” as multiple Greek mythological figures. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as multiple Greek mythological figures. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q139960516. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1921.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
