Eurymedon of Myrrhinus

Eurymedon /jʊəˈrɪmɪdɒn/ of Myrrhinus /ˈmɪrɪnəs/ (Greek: Εὐρυμέδων Μυρρινούσιος) married Plato's sister, Potone.[1] He was the father of Speusippus.[1]

The "Eurymedon of Myrrhinus" whose property bordered that of Plato's,[2] and is mentioned as an executor of Plato's will,[3] was probably the grandson of the elder Eurymedon, and may have been the son of Speusippus.[4]
