Eritha
Eritha (Linear B: E-ri-ta, 13th–12th century BC) was a Mycenaean Greek priestess. She was one of the most significant priestesses in the Mycenaean state of Pylos, in southwestern Peloponnese. Eritha was in charge of a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Potnia. She was also involved in a dispute with the local authorities over the taxable assets of the sanctuary.
==Position in society==
In the Mycenaean era, priestesses from Pylos in general controlled land, textiles, as well as male and female personnel. According to the circa 1200 BC records found in the palace of Pylos, Eritha had enough power and appears to have been one of the most significant priestesses in the region. Together with another local priestess, Karpathia, she appears to be of high status in Mycenaean society, probably the same status female clergy enjoyed in Minoan Crete.
Eritha controlled a considerable amount of land and was assisted in her service by sacred servants.〔.〕 She was a priestess of the female divinity Potnia and was in charge of a sanctuary in the area of ''pa-ki-ja-ne''. The latter toponym appears to be located in modern Sphagianes, near Pylos. Eritha, as a representative of this religious institution also appears to be responsible for the economic resources of the sanctuary.〔
