Eudora (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Eudora or Eudore (Ancient Greek: Εὐδώρη means 'early' or 'leading' or 'she of good gifts') was a name given to three nymphs:

  • Eudora, one of 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.
  • Eudora, the Nereid of sailing and a good fish-catch. She was one of the 50 sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.
  • Eudora, called "long-robed" in a Hesiodic fragment, was one of the Hyades, the nymphs associated with the configuration of stars known as the Hyades. She was the sister of Aesyle (Phaisyle) and Ambrosia, Polyxo and Coronis, and Cleeia and Phaeo. They were called the daughters of the Titan Atlas by either the Oceanids Aethra or Pleione, or of Hyas and Boeotia.
