Eurysaces (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυσάκης) in Greek mythology was the son of the Ajax and the enslaved former Teuthranian princess Tecmessa. He was venerated in Athens. Eurysaces was named after his father's famous shield. In Sophocles' tragedy Ajax, the protagonist hands the shield to his young son before committing suicide.
