In Greek mythology Euryganeia (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυγάνεια Eurygáneia) is occasionally named as Oedipus’ second wife and the mother of his children Polynices Eteocles Ismene and Antigone. She was either a daughter of Hyperphas or Jocasta’s sister. According to Pausanias the statement at Odyssey 11.274—that that the gods soon made the incestuous marriage between Oedipus and his mother Jocasta known—is incompatible with her bearing four children to him.
