In Greek mythology, Eurybatus slew the lamia that menaced Crissan. He posed as a human sacrifice to be offered to the monster; when it approached, unawares, he slew it.
In both Greek mythology and ancient Greek history, several figures carry the name Eurybatus the "straddler," not to be confused with Eurybates, the Achaean herald in the Iliad (I, 320; II, 184).
A pair of chthonic tricksters disturbed the sleep of Heracles during the time he was in service to Omphale, queen of Lydia, the time of his eclipse as a hero of male-centered Greek culture.
Eurybatus was among the company of the Argonauts [1].
