Euryalus

Euryalus

Euryalus refers to two different characters from classical literature:

#In the Aeneid by Virgil, Nisus and Euryalus are ideal friends (V.294), who died during a raid on the Rutulians (IX.179-431).
#In Greek mythology, "Euryalus" was the son of Mecisteus. 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. He also fought in the Trojan War. He was brother-in-arms of Diomedes, and one of the Greeks to enter the Trojan Horse.
