Eurymache is attested in the mythic-historical framework surrounding the Trojan War by virtue of being named as the mother of Prothous, who is described as leader of the Magnesians during the war. The surviving references present her as a familial link: she is the mother of Prothous by Tenthredon. The same genealogical tradition preserves variant accounts in which Prothous's mother is instead called Kleoboule, daughter of Eurytos, indicating multiple local or authorial traditions in ancient sources (Apollodorus, Hyginus, scholia/Tzetzes as summarized in modern reference works).
No physical description, attributes, or iconography for Eurymache is preserved in the surviving sources. She is known only by name in genealogical lists; ancient texts do not report her appearance or any visual markers that would identify her.
The sources record no deeds, powers, or behaviors for Eurymache. She is not described as supernatural or as participating in mythic actions; her role in the attested material is strictly genealogical—providing maternal parentage for the heroic-age figure Prothous.
