Greek One of the crewmen on
the journey of Odysseus and, apart from Odysseus
himself, the only one to escape the spell of Circe, the
witch who turned men into swine. (See the Odyssey.)
Eurylochus, who had been the head of the party
exploring Circe's island, hid, saw what happened to
his shipmates and fled to warn Odysseus. Later, when
Odysseus and his crew had escaped both Circe and
the Underworld, Eurylochus led the crew to feast
on the sacred cattle of Hyperion, god of the Sun,
thus bringing about the destruction of the entire
crew, except for Odysseus.
