Eurybate

Tiepolo . Eurybate and Talfibius lead to Agamemnon Briseid .

Eurybat ( dr. Greek Εὐρυβάτης , "walking in a vast space; being in many places") is a character in Homer's poem " Iliad ", a messenger, a herald . Under this name the messenger of Agamemnon is twice mentioned (I 320; IX, 170) and once the Ithaca herald (II 184). The latter is mentioned by Odysseus in another Homeric poem:

There was a herald with him; a little older He was; I can now describe it to you: hunchbacked, Swarthy, curly hair, black skin on the body ; His name was Euribat; his all comrades more Honored by Odysseus, he knew how much he was intelligent. The Odyssey , XIX, 244-249, trans. V. A. Zhukovsky

In honor of one of these Eurybates, the asteroid (3548) Eurybate is named.

N.V. Braginskaya revealed mythological parallels between Eurybat and the Vedic Vishnu- Uruguay (“Shiroshoshoshadny”), as well as Vishnu- Vamana (“Dwarf”) ^[1] , which allows us to talk about the antiquity of this image, whose roots probably go back to pan-Indo-European era.
