What is "eurybia"

In Greek mythology, Eurybia , "who has a heart of flint within her", was the consort to the Titan Crius and gave birth to Astraeus, Perses, and Pallas. Her parents were Pontus and Gaia.

Thespius's daughter is also named Eurybia. She bore Heracles a son, Polylaus.

Eurybia is a genus of plants in the composite family that were previously included in the genus Aster. All species are native to North America, though some are also present in northern Eurasia. There are 23 species in the genus including 1 hybrid. The name was first applied by Alexandre de Cassini in 1820. The name is derived from Ancient Greek ευρυς (eurys), meaning wide, and βαιος (baios), meaning few, perhaps in reference to the small number of relatively wide ray florets.

Eurybia may refer to:

• Eurybia (mythology), a sea goddess in Greek mythology
• Eurybia (plant), a genus from the family of asters, daisies, and sunflowers
• Eurybia (butterfly), a genus of metalmark butterflies
