Eury'alus

（*Eu)ru/alos).

1. A son of Mecisteus, is mentioned by Apollodorus (1.9.16) among the Argonauts, and was one of the Epigoni who took and destroyed Thebes. (Paus. 2.20.4; Apollod. 3.7.2.) He was a brave warrior, and at the funeral games of Oedipus he conquered all his competitors (Hom. Il. 23.608) with the exception of Epeius, who excelled him in wrestling. He accompanied Diomedes to Troy, where he was one of the bravest heroes, and slew several Trojans. (Il. 2.565, 6.20; Paus. 2.30.9.) In the painting of Polygnotus at Delphi, he was represented as being wounded; and there was also a statue of him at Delphi, which stood between those of Diomedes and Aegialeus. (Paus. 10.10.2, 25.2.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
