Achelous in the context of "Euryte"

Eurymedousa or Eurymedusa (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυμέδουσα) is a name attributed to several women in Greek mythology.

• Eurymedousa, daughter of Cletor or Achelous. Zeus approached and seduced her in the form of an ant. As a result, she gave birth to Myrmidon.
• Eurymedousa, an old woman from Apeire and the nanny and attendant of Nausicaa.
• According to Cornutus, Eurymedousa was a possible mother of the Charites by Zeus.
• Eurymedousa, a daughter of Aetolus and possibly the mother of Oeneus by Porthaon.
• Eurymedousa, daughter of Polyxenus, one of the would-be sacrificial victims of Minotaur rescued by Theseus.

The Achelous (Greek: Αχελώος, Ancient Greek: Ἀχελῷος Akhelôios), also Acheloos, is a river in Epirus, western Greece. It is 220 km (137 mi) long. It formed the boundary between Acarnania and Aetolia of antiquity. It empties into the Ionian Sea. In ancient times its spirit was venerated as the river god Achelous.

Herodotus, taking notice of the shoreline-transforming power of the Acheloos River, even compared it to the Nile in this respect:

In Greek mythology, the name Perimede (/ˌpɛrɪˈmiːdi/; Ancient Greek: Περιμήδη "very cunning" or "cunning all round", derived from peri "round" and medea, "cunning" or "craft') refers to:

• Perimede, a Thessalian princess as the daughter of King Aeolus of Aeolia and Enarete, daughter of Deimachus. She was the sister of Salmoneus, Athamas, Sisyphus, Cretheus, Perieres, Deioneus, Magnes, Calyce, Canace, Alcyone and Pisidice. Perimede was the mother of Hippodamas and Orestes by the river god Achelous. In a rare account, Perimede was called the mother of Pelasgus by Phoroneus.
• Perimede, a Calydonian princess as the daughter of King Oeneus, mother of Astypalaea and Europe by Phoenix (son of Agenor).

In Greek mythology, Callirrhoe (/kəˈlɪroʊiː/; also Callirhoe) was the daughter of the river god Achelous. She was betrothed of Alcmaeon, son of Amphiaraus of Argos, and mothered by him two sons, Amphoterus and Acarnan.

In Greek mythology, Perimele or Perimela (Ancient Greek: Περιμήλη) is the name of three mythical personages:

• Perimele, daughter of Amythaon. She and Antion, son of Periphas, were the possible parents of Ixion.
• Perimele, daughter of Admetus and Alcestis, mother of Magnes by Argus (son of Phrixus and Chalciope).
• Perimele, daughter of Hippodamas, who was loved by Achelous and lay with him secretly. When her father discovered that, he pushed her off a cliff into the sea. Achelous kept her floating on the waves for a while, imploring Poseidon to help her. The sea god transformed her into an island which bore her name, one of the Echinades.
