Cerinthus or Kerinthos (Ancient Greek: Κήρινθος) was a town upon the northeastern coast of ancient Euboea, and near the small river Budorus, said to have been founded by the Athenian Cothus.
[1] Verses attributed to Theognis suggest the town was destroyed in the mid-6th century BC, either by the Kypselidai of Corinth or more likely the Athenian Miltiades.
[2] If indeed it was destroyed it must have been rebuilt because it was still extant in the time of Strabo, who speaks of it as a small place.
[3][4][5][6][7] Its site is located near the modern village of Kria Vrisi, Ag.
