Erechtheus in Greek mythology was the name of an archaic king of Athens, the founder of the polis and, in his role as god, attached to Poseidon, as “Poseidon Erechtheus”. The mythic Erechtheus and the historical Erechtheus were fused into one character in Euripides lost tragedy Erechtheus (423/22 BCE).

Erechtheus II was given a historicizing genealogy as son and heir to King Pandion I of Athens by Zeuxippe, this Pandion being son of Erichthonius. This later king Erechtheus may be distinguished as Erechtheus II. Erechtheus was father, by his wife Praxithea, of six daughters, the eldest was Protogeneia, Pandora, Procris, Creusa, Oreithyia and Chthonia.  His reign was marked by the war between Athens and Eleusis, when the Eleusinians were commanded by Eumolpus, coming from Thrace. An oracle declared that Athens’ survival depended on the death of one of the three daughters of Erechtheus.
