In Greek mythology, Eudora or Eudore (Ancient Greek: Εὐδώρη[1] means 'early' or 'leading'[2] or 'she of good gifts'[3]) was a name given to three nymphs:
- Eudora, one of 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.[4][5]
- Eudora, the Nereid of sailing and a good fish-catch.[5] She was one of the 50 sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[6]
- Eudora, called "long-robed" in a Hesiodic fragment, was one of the Hyades, the nymphs associated with the configuration of stars known as the Hyades.[7] She was the sister of Aesyle (Phaisyle) and Ambrosia,[8] Polyxo and Coronis,[9] and Cleeia and Phaeo.[10] They were called the daughters of the Titan Atlas by either the Oceanids Aethra[11] or Pleione,[12] or of Hyas and Boeotia.[13]
