Euryalus (/jʊəˈraɪ.ələs/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύαλος, romanized: Eurýalos, lit. 'broad') refers to the Euryalus fortress, the main citadel of Ancient Syracuse, and to several different characters from Greek mythology and classical literature:
Euryalus, named on sixth and fifth century BC pottery as being one of the Giants who fought the Olympian gods in the Gigantomachy.
Euryalus, a suitor of Hippodamia who, like all the suitors before Pelops, was killed by Oenomaus.
Euryalus, one of the eight sons of Melas, who plotted against their uncle Oeneus and were slain by Tydeus.
Euryalus, the Argive son of Mecisteus and Astyoche and one of the Argonauts. He attacked the city of Thebes as one of the Epigoni, who took the city and avenged the deaths of their fathers, who had also attempted to invade Thebes. In Homer's Iliad, he fought in the Trojan War, where he was brother-in-arms of Diomedes, and one of the Greeks to enter the Trojan Horse. He lost the boxing match to Epeius at the funeral games for Patroclus. He is mentioned by Hyginus, who gives his parents as Pallas and Diomede.
Euryalus (or Agrolas), brother and fellow builder of Hyperbius the Athenian.
Euryalus was the name of a son of Euippe and Odysseus, who was mistakenly slain by his father for plotting against his father.
