Eurynome

Meaning

Eurynome is named with Zeus as mother of the Graces at LX.2 and is described as deep-bosomed. The identity of this parent depends on the adopted reading: the apparatus attributes Εὐρυνόμης to Schrader and reports εὐνομίης. The proper name must therefore remain distinct from Eunomia or good order, even though the two readings occupy the same textual place.
