In Greek mythology, Eurypylus ( /jʊəˈrɪpɪləs/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύπυλος Eurypylos) was a son of Poseidon and the Pleiad Celaeno, and together with his brother Lycus, [1] they ruled over the Fortunate Islands. Others state that Eurypylus was a king of Cyrene, and note that the brothers 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] [6] This Eurypylus must not be confused with another son of Poseidon named Eurypylus, king of Cos.
