Eurydice of Argos


In Greek mythology, Eurydice was an Argive queen as the wife of Acrisius, king of Argos. She was the mother of Danaë and therefore maternal grandmother to Perseus. Her other daughter was possibly, Evarete, wife of Oenomaus, king of Pisa in Elis. Eurydice was said to have been a daughter of Lacedaemon and Sparta, the legendary founders of Sparta and thus, sister to Amyclas, king of Lacedaemonia. In some accounts, the wife of Acrisius was called Aganippe.
