Europs (mythology)

In Greek mythology, the name Europs () may refer to:

Europs, son of the autochthon Aegialeus, father of Telchis and grandfather of Apis, all of whom formed a legacy of the primeval kings of Sicyon according to a local legend.Pausanias, 2.5.6. For a genealogical chart of Europs and his descendants, see Grimal, p. 543, table 22. He was said to be the second ruler of Aegialea and have reigned for 45 years.Eusebius, Chronographia 63 Europs, son of Phoroneus whom Herophanes of Troezen wrote of as illegitimate; Pausanias concluded that Herophanes' account was plausible, since otherwise Phoroneus' kingdom would not have passed to Argus. Europs' own son Hermion was the presumed eponym of Hermione, Argolis.Pausanias, 2.34.4
