Eurykyda
Eurykyda ( ancient Greek Εὐρυκύδα ) is a female figure in Greek mythology .
According to Pausanias, Eurykyda was a daughter of King Endymion of Elis . Her brothers were Aitolus , Paion and Epeios . With Poseidon, god of the sea, she fathered a son named Eleios , who, after his uncle Aitolus had fled, was his successor in the rule of Elis. The ancient geographer Strabo states that there were two sacred groves in the western Peloponnesian Triphylia , which was later counted as Elis, which were called Ionaion and Eurykydeion .
