 | | In classical times, Erechtheus, seen as the perfect king by the Athenians, and who, in early times was often identified with Erichthonius (like him, he was sometime credited with the insitution of the festival of Panathenæa and the invention of the chariot), had a quasi-divine status, and was even eventually identified with Poseidon. |
 | | He was, as was mentioned earlier, a son of Erechtheus' daughter Creüsa and either Apollo (in Euripides' version) or the Thessalian Xouthus, and the brother of Achæus (the eponym of the Achæans). |
 | | Erechtheus was succeeded by his son Cecrops, second of that name, who married Metadiousa, daughter of his nephew Eupalamus (the son of his brother Metion), then by their son Pandion, also second of that name. |
