释义 |
In Greek mythology, Euryganeia ({{lang-grc|Εὐρυγάνεια}}, Eurygáneia) is occasionally named as Oedipus' second wife and the mother of his children, Polynices, Eteocles, Ismene and Antigone.[1] She was either a daughter of Hyperphas or Jocasta's sister.[2] 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.[3] The geographer cites the Oedipodeia as evidence for the fact that Euryganeia was actually the mother of Oedipus' brood.[4] 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.[5] There was a painting of her at Plataea in which she was depicted as mournful because of the strife between her children.[6] Following Euryganeia's death, Oedipus married Astymedusa, who plotted against her stepsons.
