In Greek mythology several figures carry the name Eurybatus the "straddler," not to be confused with Eurybates, the Achaean herald in the Iliad (I, 320; II, 184).

One 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.

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. The twins brothers were given various names, Passalus and Acmon, Sillus and Triballus or Olus and Eurybatus. They were sons of Oceanus and Thetis, full of cheats and deceptions, and buzzed round Heracles' head like flies until he captured them and slung them upside-down from his pole. (Graves 1955)

Eurybatus was among the company of the Argonauts [1].
