Bulfinch's Mythology(2K)

EURYNOMUS

a daemon of the lower world, concerning whom there was a tradition at Delphi, according to which, he devoured the flesh of dead human bodies, and left nothing but the bones. Polygnotus represented him in the Lesche at Delphi, of a dark-blue complexion, showing his teeth, and sitting on the skin of a vulture.

There are two other mythical personages of this name, one mentioned by Ovid ( Metamorphoses by Ovid) and the other in the Odyssey (Odyssey of Homer).
