1 Origin

Erythras was born in Acraephnium, Boeotia, in 1390 BC.

Erythras' father was Leucon (or Leuconoe), son of Athamas.

2 Others

Pausanias reports that Erythras was one of the suitors of Hippodamia, daughter of Oenomaus of Pisa. If this is true, Erythras would have been 75 years old when he proposed to Hippodamia.

Pausanias also reports that Erythras was the godfather of Erythrae of Boeotia.

However, in Erythras' time, the descendants of those who migrated to Boeotia with Cadmus lived in Hyria and Eleutherae, which are close to Erythrae.
