Euonymus (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Euonymus (Ancient Greek: Εὐώνυμος means 'well-named', a euphemistic epithet) was the son of Gaia[citation needed] by Uranus or Cephissus. He was the eponym of the deme Euonymeia, Attica, whereas his daughter Aulis gave her name to the city Aulis, Boeotia.[1]
