Eurytion
Frieze-Dennison Vergil
(Εὐρυτίων).
1. A son of Irus and Demonassa, and a grandson of Actor, is mentioned among the Argonauts. (Hyg. Fab. 14; Apollon. 1.71.) According to others he was a son of Actor, and he is also called Eurytus. (Apollod. 1.8.2; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 175.) When Peleus was expelled from his dominions, he fled to Eurytion and married his daughter Antigone; but in shooting at the Calydonian boar, Peleus inadvertently killed his father-in-law. (Apollod. 3.13. 1. &c.)
2. A centaur who took to flight during the fight of Heracles with the centaurs; but he was afterwards killed by Heracles in the dominions of Dexamenus, whose daughter Eurytion was on the point of making his wife. (Apollod. 2.5.4, &c.; comp. Diod. 4.33; Hyg. Fab. 31.) Two other mythical personages of this name are mentioned by Apollodorus (2.5.10) and Virgil. (Aen. 5.495, &c.) [L.S]
