Eurypylus, the Thespian son of Heracles and Eubote,[5] daughter of King Thespius of Thespiae.[6] Eurypylus and his 49 half-brothers were born of Thespius' daughters who were impregnated by Heracles in one night,[7] for a week[8] or in the course of 50 days[9] while hunting for the Cithaeronian lion.[10] Later on, the hero sent a message to Thespius to keep seven of these sons and send three of them in Thebes while the remaining forty, joined by Iolaus, were dispatched to the island of Sardinia to found a colony.[11]
Eurypylus, a prince of Tiryns as son of King Eurystheus and possibly Antimache, daughter of Amphidamas of Arcadia. He and his brothers Eurybius and Perimedes were all slain by Heracles when at a sacrificial meal in honor of his Twelve Labors being completed they served him a smaller portion of meat than they did for themselves.[19] Eurypylus' other possible siblings were Admete,[20] Alexander, Iphimedon and Mentor.[21]
Eurypylus, a son of Temenus, brother of Agelaus, Callias and Hyrnetho. As Temenus intended to leave his kingdom to Hyrnetho and Deiphontes, Eurypylus and his brothers hired assassins to kill Temenus, but the army still supported their sister and her husband.[24]
Eurypylus, father of two daughters Morphe and Clyte, who were said to have been the first prostitutes in history.[25]
