Eurycleia

Eurycleia

In Greek mythology, Eurycleia - Εὐρύκλεια, Eurýkleia, or Euryclea (also known as Antiphata - Ἀντιφάτη in other traditions), is the daughter of Ops and granddaughter of Peisenor, as well as the wet-nurse of Odysseus. As a girl she was bought by Laertes, Odysseus' father. He treated her as his wife, but she was never his consummated lover so as not to dishonor his real wife, Anticleia. She nursed Odysseus and Telemachus, Odysseus' son.
