{{Other use|Eurydice (Greek myth)}}
In [[Greek mythology]], '''Eurydice''' ({{IPAc-en|j|ʊəˈr|ɪ|d|ᵻ|s|i}}; [[Ancient Greek]]: Εὐρυδίκη ''Eurydikē''  "wide justice", derived from ''ευρυς eurys'' "wide" and ''δικη dike'' "justice) was a queen of [[Troy]] as the wife of [[Ilus]], founder of [[Troy|Ilium]]. She was the daughter of [[Adrastus (mythology)|Adrastus]] and the mother of King [[Laomedon]] of Troy and possibly, of [[Themiste]],<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+3.12.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022 3.12.2]</ref> [[Telecleia]]<ref>[[Scholia]] on [[Euripides]], ''[[Hecuba (play)|Hecuba]]'', 3</ref> and [[Tithonus]]. In some accounts, [[Batea (mythology)|Batia]], daughter of [[Teucer]] was said to be the consort of Ilus but if the family tree recorded by [[Apollodorus of Athens|Apollodorus]] is correct, Batia could hardly have been the wife of Ilus, since she was his great-grandmother.<ref>Apollodorus, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+3.12.3&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022 3.12.3] & footnote 7 which disregard the connection stating that ''"if the family tree recorded by Apollodorus is correct, Batia could hardly have been the wife of Ilus, since she was his great-grandmother"''</ref> According to [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], the wife of Ilus was called [[Leucippe]], otherwise unknown.<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], [https://topostext.org/work/206#250 ''Fabulae'' 250]</ref>
