Earth to Elysian Fields Emathia to Eretria Erginos to Eulimene Eumaios to Exomis
The mythical king of Attika (Attica); his name literally means, The Render.
Erekhtheus was the son of Pandion who was the son of Erikhthonios (Erikhthonios) who was, in turn, the son of the god Hephaistos (Hephaestus).
Little is known of Erekhtheus or his predecessors except that his grand-father, Erikhthonios, was thought to have snake-like characteristics; for obscure reasons, Poseidon (lord of the Sea) was worshiped at the city of Athens as Poseidon Erekhtheus.
