Eurypylus (son of Poseidon)

In Greek mythology, Eurypylus (/jʊəˈrɪpɪləs/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύπυλος, romanized: Eurupulos, lit. 'wide-gated') was a son of Poseidon[1] and the Pleiad Celaeno.[2] According to a scholium on the Argonautica he was a king of Cyrene and the brother of Eupemus and Lycus, who were also referred to as Eurytus and Lycaon.[2] Eurypylus married Sterope, a daughter of Helios and had two sons, Lycaon and Leucippus.[3][4] Triton assumed his shape when he encountered the Argonauts in Libya.[5] This Eurypylus must not be confused with another son of Poseidon named Eurypylus, king of Cos.
