Araethyrea

Araethyrea (

When Araethyrea died, her brother called the country of Phlius after her.^[1][2] She was the mother of Phlias. The monuments of Araethyrea and her brother, consisting of round pillars, were still extant in the time of Pausanias; and before the mysteries of Demeter were commenced at Phlius, the people always invoked Aras and his two children with their faces turned towards their monuments.^[3]
