Euboea (/juːˈbiːə/; Ancient Greek: Εὔβοια means 'well-cattle') was the name of several women in Greek mythology.
- Euboea, one of the Argive naiad daughters of the river-god Asterion. She and her sisters, Acraea and Prosymna, were the nurses of Hera.[1]
- Euboea, mother of Triopas[2] and possibly Arestor[3] by Phorbas.
- Euboea, one of the naiad daughters of the river-god Asopus[4] and possibly Metope, the river-nymph daughter of the river Ladon.[5] She was the sister of Aegina, Thebe, Plataea, Sinope, Thespia, Tanagra, Corcyra and Salamis. The last two and 'lovely' Euboea were all abducted by Poseidon from their father.[6] The god brought her to Euboea[7] where she became the eponymous heroine of the island.[8][9] She may identical with Chalcis[5] or Combe,[10] daughters of Asopus in some myths.
- Euboea, daughter of Larymnus. She and Polybus of Sicyon were possible parents of Glaucus.[11]
- Euboea, daughter of Macareus, king of Locris. She bore Apollo a son, Agreus.[12] Euboea's possible sister was Megaclite, consort of Zeus.[13]
- Euboea, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[14] or by one of his many wives.[15] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[16] Euboea with her other sisters, except for one,[17] all laid with the hero in a night,[18] a week[19] or for 50 days[20] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[21] Euboea bore Heracles a son, Olympus.[22]
