Euryodeia
Appearance
In Greek Mythology, Euryodeia (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυοδεία, lit. 'broad-seated', 'wide-wayed' or 'of the broad ways') or Euryodia (Εὐρυοδία) was the mother of King Arcesius of Ithaca by Zeus.[1] In some accounts, Arcesius instead was called the son of Cephalus by Procris[2] or a she-bear who was transformed into a woman[3].
