is located in Ildır District, northeast of İzmir’s Çeşme district, on the Aegean Sea coast. The ancient city of Erythrai has often experienced the fate of invasions and living under other civilizations. Erythrai Ancient City could only gain its independence with the help of Alexander the Great’s army. Erythrai Ancient City is believed to have been founded by Erythros, the son of the Cretan Rahadamanthys. The city, after being ruled by the kingdom, passed to the democratic system and started to be ruled by the kings (Basileus) chosen by the people. Another argument about the name of Erythrai is that it is derived from the word Erythros. In Greek, this word means red and it is mentioned in some sources where the name of the city is named “Red city”. Erythrai, which came under the control of the Turks in the 1300s, was called by different names, but from the 16th century it was called ilderen and then Ildır.
