- Eurymedon, in rare accounts, a Titan or Giant who fathered Prometheus after raping Hera.
- Eurymedon, king of the Gigantes, father of Periboea (mother of Nausithous by Poseidon). He brought destruction on his people and was himself destroyed.
- Eurymedon, one of the Cabiri, children of Hephaestus and Cabiro, a Thracian woman. He was the brother of Alcon. Eurymedon fought in the Indian War of Dionysus but he fled when attacked by Orontes.
- Eurymedon, possible father of Cinyras by the nymph Paphia.
