4007 Euryalos /jʊˈraɪələs/ is a larger Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 19 September 1973, by Dutch astronomers Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden, and Tom Gehrels at Palomar Observatory in California.[1] The likely spherical Jovian asteroid is the principal body of the proposed Euryalos family and has a rotation period of 6.4 hours.[7] It was named after the warrior Euryalus from Greek mythology.[1]
