In Greek mythology, Eurynome (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυνόμη)[1] was a daughter of Nisus, king of Megara, and mother of Bellerophon by Poseidon.[2] According to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, Athena herself taught the girl handiwork.[3] Sisyphus attempted to drive away her cattle, but ended up winning her as bride for his son Glaucus by the will of Athena.[4] But Zeus had ordained that Sisyphus would not leave behind any progeny, and Eurynome lay instead with Poseidon, giving birth to Bellerophon.[4]
