• Eurymachus, a prince of the Phlegyes who attacked and destroyed Thebes after the death of Amphion and Zethus.
• Eurymachus, the fourth suitor of Princess Hippodamia of Pisa, Elis. Like the other suitors of the latter, he was killed by the bride's father, King Oenomaus.

Eurymachus was engaged to King Priam's daughter Polyxena. Late in the Trojan War, following the deaths of most of the major Trojan heroes, he was inspired, alongside Aeneas, by the god Apollo to wreak havoc among the Argive lines. In a painting described by Pausanias, Eurymachus was depicted as sitting upon a rock by the house of his father, Antenor, while the rest of Troy burned, for Antenor's family had been spared by the Greeks. After the fall of Troy, he accompanied the Spartan leader Menelaus on his return voyage home, together with his own brother Glaucus. When the fleet reached Egypt, Eurymachus and Glaucus refused to continue travelling with those that had destroyed their homeland, settling down in Cyrene.
