In Greek mythology, Ereuthus (Ancient Greek: Ἔρευθον) was an Elean warrior who participated in the Trojan War.Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica 2.239
Mythology Ereuthus was a man from Thryon, a town near the Alpheus river, and a follower of King Nestor of Pylos to Troy. Ultimately, Ereuthus was killed by the Ethiopian Memnon, son of Eos (Dawn).Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica 2.240–242 “But on the other side the hero child [i.e. Memnon] of the Dawn-goddess slew the Argive men, like to a baleful Doom which bringeth down on men a grim and ghastly pestilence. First slew he Pheron; for the bitter spear plunged through his breast, and down on him he hurled goodly Ereuthus, battle-revellers both, dwellers in Thryus by Alpheus' streams, which followed Nestor to the god-built burg of Ilium.”Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica 2.235–242
