Odyssey 11.279-280
And she left behind to him exceedingly many pains, as many as the Erinyes of a mother accomplish. (Trans. T. N. Gantz) Greek Text
Odyssey 11.274
The gods soon made these things known to men. (Trans. T. N. Gantz) Greek Text
Pausanias 5.10-11
He also married his mother. But I do not think that he had children by her; my witness is Homer, who says in the Odyssey:
—And I saw the mother of Oedipodes, fair Epicaste,
Who wrought a dreadful deed unwittingly,
Marrying her son, who slew his father and
Wedded her. But forthwith the gods made it known among men.
(Hom. Od. 11.271)
How could they “have made it known forthwith,” if Epicaste had borne four children to Oedipus? But the mother of these children was Euryganeia, daughter of Hyperphas. Among the proofs of this are the words of the author of the poem called the Oedipodia; and moreover, Onasias painted a picture at Plataea of Euryganeia bowed with grief because of the fight between her children.
