 | | The Erythraeans owned for a considerable time the supremacy of Athens, but towards the close of the Peloponnesian War they threw off their allegiance to that city. |
 | | After the battle of Cnidus, however, they received Conon, and paid him honours in an inscription, still extant. |
 | | Erythrae was the birthplace of two prophetesses--one of whom, Sibylla, is mentioned by Straboas living in the early period of the city; the other, Athenais, lived in the time of Alexander the Great. |
