If you've broken two spokes in short order, I'd recommend replacing all of them. It's likely that they were not tensioned properly from the beginning and they've all fatigued. If you replace just one, you may be replacing them again and again.
The Eurus is an interesting design- 21 spokes with 14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. It appears to be quite light for a minimal-spoke wheel which leads me to believe that it might not be the right wheel for you and your typical riding. How much do you weigh and what kind of riding is this for?
