Erythini or Erythinoi ( Ancient Greek: Ἐρυθῖνοι), also Erythrini or Erythrinoi (Ἐρυθρῖνοι), was a coastal town in ancient Paphlagonia, mentioned by Homer in the Iliad as an ally of Troy during the Trojan War. [1] Strabo fixed the position of the town upon two rocks, called, from their colour, Ἐρυθρῖνοι, 90 stadia east of Amastris, and 60 stadia north of Cromna. [2] Arrian writes that the Amastris is 60 stadia from the Erythini. [3]
Its site is located near Çakraz, Asiatic Turkey. [4] [5]
