Wouldn't the main bulk of the article be about Erechtheus II? It seems to me that Erichthonius of Athens was king before the one described in the article and that he would go as Erechtheus I. -- Zirk 20:20, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Erectheus is only the Latin way to spell Erechtheus - however you want to arrange the material, there's no point in having two entries. Hannah standeven ( talk) 15:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm confused by this article. It needs to be clarified I think. I came for info on Erechtheus but got a lot of confusing information about the variations & etc. and not a clear explanation of any of the characters or a clear definition of who they (the versions) were.

I agree with Richard Ruffian that this article is confusing. I attribute this reaction more to the wording and structure of this article than to its content. As I see it, sentences run too long and contain too many diverse details, yielding a "stream of consciousness" effect which contributes to the confusion. I might offer a revision to demonstrate my point, but I also should consult subject references before writing so that I don't muddy the waters further. Perhaps an authority on the subject could subdivide the content appropriately, and also structure the sentences to focus on each topic in order. A genealogical diagram (illustrating the subject's place among ancestors, descendants, and associates) might also be useful and helpful. -- Phil Toll Jr ( talk) 22:21, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the play be given a separate entry? See http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/books/review/the-parthenon-enigma-by-joan-breton-connelly.html?nl=books&emc=edit_bk_20140124&_r=0. 211.225.34.161 ( talk) 09:55, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Etymology is missing. In the article "Erichthonios", Beekes suggests Pre-Greec origin. However "chthonic" means underground. Jestmoon(talk) 19:08, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
