Eurynome

An Okeanid, i.e. one of the three thousand daughters of Okeanos (Ocean) and Tethys.

Eurynome and Zeus are the parents of the three Graces: Euphrosyne, Aglaia and Thalia; as the consort of Ophion, she and Ophion were the first to occupy Mount Olympos (Olympus); they were forced off the mountain and returned to the sea by the Titans, Kronos (Cronos) and Rheia (Rhea); Eurynome and Thetis took care of Hephaistos (Hephaestus) for nine years after he had been flung from Mount Olympos (Olympus).

Zeus gave the Okeanids, Apollon and the Rivers the special obligation of having the young in their keeping.
