Mythology

- Eurymachus, son of Antenor[4] and Theano. He was the brother of Crino,[5] Acamas,[6][7] Agenor,[8][9] Antheus,[10] Archelochus,[11][12] Coön,[13] Demoleon,[14] Glaucus,[15] Helicaon,[16] Iphidamas,[17] Laodamas,[18][19] Laodocus,[20] Medon,[21] Polybus,[8][22] and Thersilochus.[21] Eurymachus was engaged to King Priam's daughter Polyxena.[23]

- Eurymachus, an Achaean warrior who participated in the Trojan War. He was among those who hid inside the Wooden Horse.[25]
- Eurymachus, son of Polybus and one of the suitors of Penelope.[26]
History
- Eurymachus, one of the 180 Theban soldiers who were taken prisoner in the Theban siege of Plataea. All of the Theban soldiers were killed after the Plataeans brought everyone living outside of their walls into the city after unrequited negotiation with Thebes's nightly backup troops. Thucydides states that Eurymachus was "a man of great influence at Thebes," and that the Platean, Naucleides, arranged with him to bring in "a little over 300" Theban troops in the middle of the night, for a sneak attack. This event touched off the Peloponnesian War.
