In Greek mythology, Eurybius (Ancient Greek: Εὐρύβιος, romanized: Eurybios, lit. 'wide might', 'broad force' or 'abundant strength') was the name of the following personages: Eurybius, one of the commanders of horned Lamian Centaurs or Lamian Pheres, offspring of the Lamusides nymphs. He joined Dionysusin his Indian campaign against. Eurybius, a Pylian prince as son of King Neleus and Chloris, daughter of the Minyan king Amphion of Orchomenus. His siblings were Pero, Periclymenus, Alastor, Chromius, Asterius, Deimachus, Epilaus, Eurymenes, Evagoras, Phrasius, Pylaon, Taurus and Nestor. Eurybius along with his brothers, except Nestor, were killed by Heracles. Eurybius, a prince of Tiryns as son of King Eurystheus and Antimache, daughter of Amphidamas of Arcadia. He was the brother of Admete, Alexander, Iphimedon, Mentor and Perimedes. Eurybius was killed in battle by the Athenians along with his brothers in the war that ensued when Athens refused to deliver the Heracleidae up to Eurystheus. Alternately, Eurybius, Perimedes and his another brother, Eurypylus, were all slain by Heracles when at a sacrificial meal in honor of his Twelve Labors being completed they served him a smaller portion of meat than they did for themselves.
Alastor (; Ancient Greek: Ἀλάστωρ, lit. 'avenging spirit') refers to a number of people and concepts in Greek mythology: Alastor, an epithet of the Greek God Zeus, according to Hesychius of Alexandria and the Etymologicum Magnum, which described him as the avenger of evil deeds, specifically familial bloodshed. As the personification of a curse, it was also a sidekick of the Erinyes. The name is also used, especially by the tragic writers, to designate any deity or demon who avenges wrongs committed by men. In Euripides' play Electra, Orestes questions an oracle who calls upon him to kill his mother Clytemnestra, and wonders if the oracle was not from Apollo, but some malicious alastor. There was an altar to Zeus Alastor just outside the city walls of Thasos. By the time of the 4th century BC, alastor in Greek had degraded to a generic type of insult, with the approximate meaning of "scoundrel". Alastor, a prince of Pylos and son of King Neleus and Chloris, daughter of Amphion. He was the brother of Asterius, Deimachus, Epilaus, Eurybius, Eurymenes, Evagoras, Nestor, Periclymenus, Phrasius, Pylaon, Taurus and Pero. When Heracles took Pylos, he killed Alastor and his brothers, except for Nestor. According to Parthenius of Nicaea, he was to be married to Harpalyce, who, however, was taken from him by her father Clymenus. Alastor, a Lycian warrior who was a companion of Sarpedon. He fought in the Trojan War and was slain by the Greek hero Odysseus during the battle. Alastorides is a patronymic form given by Homer to Tros, who was probably a son of the Lycian Alastor mentioned above. Alastor, a Pylian soldier who fought under their leader Nestor during the Trojan War. He remembered for having, together with Mecisteus, carried the wounded Teucer off the battlefield as they later did also with Hypsenor. Alastor, a black horse belonging to the Greek God Hades. He was one of the four horses drawing Hades's chariot when he rose from the Underworld to bring Persephone down with him. The other three were Orphnaeus, Aethon, and Nycteus. Alastor, a vengeful daemon that relentlessly pursues the guilty, punishing their children for the sins of their fathers. Alastor, in Christian demonology, came to be considered a kind of possessing entity. He was likened to Nemesis. The name Alastor was also used as a generic term for a class of evil spirits.
Admete (; Ancient Greek: Ἀδμήτη, lit. 'the unbroken', 'unwedded' or 'untamed') or Admeta, was in Greek mythology, a Mycenaean princess. She was the daughter of King Eurystheus and Antimache and sister to Alexander, Iphimedon, Eurybius, Mentor, Perimedes and possibly, Eurypylus. The name of Admete/ Admeta was the female form of Admetus.

Asterion, son of Zeus and Idaea, a daughter of Minos. Asterius, son of Minos and Androgenia, a girl from the Cretan city of Phaistos. He was the commander of Cretans who joined the god Dionysus in his Indian War. Asterius never returned to his homeland but instead settled among the Colchians and named them Asterians. There Asterius fathered Miletus, Caunus, and Byblis. Asterius, a king of Anactoria (Miletus) and son of Anax, son of Gaia.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
