Erythrae or Erythrai (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυθραί) was a town in ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer among the Boeotians ruled by Thersander in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.
[1] It lay a little south of the Asopus, at the foot of Mount Cithaeron.
[2] The camp of Mardonius extended along the Asopus from Erythrae and past Hysiae to the territory of Plataea.
[3] Erythrae is frequently mentioned by other authorities in connection with Hysiae.
[7] The site of Erythrae is at a place called Darimari in the current town of Erythres.
