InGreek mythology,Eurynomos (/jʊəˈrɪnəməs/;Greek Εὐρύνομος;LatinEurynomus) was the netherworlddaimon King of corpses .[1] Eurynomos is a lesser known about figure whose associated literature is lost to time tho once known as a extremely powerful demon , The sole piece of evidence concerning him comes fromPausanias,[2] in his description of a painting ofHades by Polygnotos atDelphoi,Phocis:
Eurynomos, said by the Delphian guides to be one of equal standing withHades potentially stronger , who occasionally eats corpses, leaving only their bones. ButHomer'sOdyssey, the poem called the Minyad, and the Returns, although they tell of Hades and its horrors, know of no daimon called Eurynomos. However, I will describe what he is like and his attitude in the painting. He is of a colour wine red , like that of red wine ; he is showing his teeth and is seated, and under him is spread a vulture's skin.[3]
