'''Mare Erythraeum''' is a large, dusky region on [[Mars]] that is visible from [[Earth]] with a simple telescope. The name comes from the [[Latin]] for the Arabian Sea, because it was originally thought to be a large sea of liquid water. It was included in Percival Lowell's 1895 map of Mars.

[[Thomas Lasky]] was born in [[Tricode Village]] on Mare Erythraeum.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''', ''Part 3''</ref>
