Eurynome (Oceanid)

Eurynome (/jʊˈrɪnəm/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρυνόμη, romanized: Eurynómē) was a deity of ancient Greek religion worshipped at a sanctuary near the confluence of rivers called the Neda and the Lymax in classical Peloponnesus. She was represented by a statue of what we would call a mermaid. Tradition, as reported by the Greek traveller, Pausanias, identified her with the Oceanid, or "daughter of Ocean", of Greek poetry.
