ERYTHRAEUM(Ἐρυθραῖον ἄκρον, Ptol. 3.17.4), a promontory on the SE. coast of Crete. The town of ERYTHRAEA which, from its mention by Florus (Flor. 3.7) along with Cydonia and Cnossus as submitting to Metellus, must have been a place of importance, probably was situated near the promontory of the same name. (Hoeck, Kreta, vol. i. pp. 426, 429.)
