Eurynome was an Ancient Greek deity traditionally connected with water, whose cult has been discovered near the confluence of the Neda and the Lymax rivers, down in Peloponnesus. She’s called an Oceanid by Pausanias, and her representation resembles a mermaid.
Though Robert Graves offers us a charming theory and sees Eurynome as a lunar goddess and a Pelasgian mother goddess, there’s no substantiated proof that she held such a status.
Today on my Patreon we take a look at what Homer, Hesiod and Pausanias write about her.
