Euryodeia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek Mythology, Euryodeia (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυοδείας) or Euryodia (Εὐρνοδίας) was the mother of King Arcesius of Ithaca by Zeus.[1] In some accounts, Arcesius instead was called the son of Cephalus by Procris[2] or a she-bear who was transformed into a woman.[3]
