Euryte

Euryte (Greek: Εὐρύτη) is a feminine name that appears in ancient Greek literature. The name is attested for more than one female figure in myth, though the details vary across authors and local traditions. Because the surviving sources are fragmentary and sometimes contradictory, there is no single narrative that defines Euryte.

In different genealogies, she is described as the wife or consort of various legendary rulers or as the mother of founders; in other traditions she is a naiads or local nymph associated with a particular site. As a result, modern scholars treat Euryte as a minor figure whose significance rests in onomastic and textual contexts rather than in a fixed myth.

The name is noted in standard reference works on Greek myth and is of interest to researchers studying naming patterns in antiquity.
