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.
