Eurydice of Mycenae

In Greek mythology, Eurydice (/jʊəˈrɪdɪsi/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυδίκη, Eurydikē "wide justice", derived from ευρυς eurys "wide" and δικη dike "justice) was the daughter of Pelops and was married to Electryon, king of Mycenae and son of Perseus.[1] She gave birth to Alcmena, mother of Heracles.[2] In other versions of the myth, Eurydice's place was taken by Anaxo, Electryon's niece.[3]
