Poseidon and the
Pleiad
Celaeno , and together with his brother
Lycus ,
[1] they ruled over the
Fortunate Islands . Others state that Eurypylus was a king of
Cyrene , and note that the brothers were also referred to as
Eurytus and
Lycaon .
[2] Eurypylus married
Sterope , a daughter of
Helios and had two sons, Lycaon and
Leucippus .

[6] This Eurypylus must not be confused with another son of Poseidon named
Eurypylus , king of Cos.
