Εὐρυγάνεια

Wikipedia EN

In Greek mythology, Euryganeia (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυγάνεια, Eurygáneia) was a Theban queen.. Euryganeia was either a daughter of Hyperphas, and thus, sister to Euryanassa. In some sources, she was described as Jocasta's sister, which would make her Oedipus' aunt. Euryganeia was occasionally named as Oedipus' second wife and the mother of his children, Polynices, Eteocles, Ismene and Antigone. According to Pausanias, the statement at Odyssey 11.274—that the gods soon made the incestuous marriage between Oedipus and his mother Jocasta known—is incompatible with her bearing four children to him. The geographer cites the Oedipodeia as evidence for the fact that Euryganeia was actually the mother of Oedipus' brood. Pherecydes, on the other hand, attributed two sons (named Phrastor and Laonytus) to the marriage of Jocasta and Oedipus, but agreed that the more famous foursome were the children of Euryganeia.

Η Ευρυγάνεια (ή Ευρυγάνη) ήταν κόρη του Υπέρφαντα (ή του Τεύθραντα ή, κατ' άλλους, του Λαπίθη Περίφαντα) και υπήρξε, σύμφωνα με μία πολύ αρχαία παράδοση, η δεύτερη γυναίκα του Οιδίποδα μετά τον απαγχονισμό της Ιοκάστης. Μαζί της, σύμφωνα με την παραπάνω παράδοση, και όχι με την Ιοκάστη, ο Οιδίπους απέκτησε τα τέσσερα παιδιά του: την Αντιγόνη, την Ισμήνη, τον Ετεοκλή και τον Πολυνείκη.

Κατά μια όμως άλλη παραλλαγή του μύθου, η Ευρυγάνεια ήταν σύζυγος του Λάιου, και άρα μητέρα ή, ίσως, μητριά του Οιδίποδα.
