Eurryroe

In Greek mythology, Eurryroe (Ancient Greek: Εùρυῥῤόης) was the daughter of the Egyptian river-god Nilus, thus she can be considered as a naiad.^[1]

Mythology

According to Hippostratus, Eurryroe was said to be the mother alone of the 50 sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt.^[1] Her sister Europa, also bore the Libyan king Danaus's 50 daughters.^[2]

Otherwise, the wives of Aegyptus and Danaus were their cousins (and nieces), Isaia and Melia, respectively. They were daughters of King Agenor and Damno, daughter of Belus.^[3] In one account, Aegyptus's children were bore to different mothers including Argyphia, Tyria, the naiad Caliadne, Gorgo and Hephaestine.^[4]
