Eurynome (Oceanid)

In the epic tradition, Eurynome was one of the elder Oceanids, that is, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys.

[2] When Hephaestus was cast from Olympus by the goddess Hera, who was disgusted at having borne a crippled child, he was caught by Eurynome and Thetis (possibly a doubling for Tethys, her mother).

Eurynome and Thetis nursed the god Hephaestus on the banks of the earth-encircling river Oceanus, after his fall from heaven.

This Eurynome was an early Titan queen who ruled Olympus beside her husband Ophion.

The pair were wrestled for their thrones by Cronus and Rhea who cast them down into the earth-encircling river Oceanus.

[5] Homer and Hesiod establish that a belief in the Oceanid existed in the earliest literary times.
