A narrow strait with strong, turbulent currents and tides, particularly the famous channel between the Greek island of Euboea and the mainland.
From Greek 'euripos,' literally possibly meaning 'wide-flowing' or from a pre-Greek origin, the name of the most notorious strait in ancient Greek geography.
The Euripus Strait changes direction approximately 14 times per day, and ancient Greeks were so baffled by this that they had myths to explain the 'madness'!
