Η Εύτρηση πήρε μέρος στον πόλεμο και περιλαμβάνεται στον Ομηρικό Κατάλογο των Νεών. Την αναφέρει κωμόπολη των Θεσπιέων (Ιλ. Β 502).
Ηταν αδέλφια, παιδιά του Διός και της Αντιόπης, που κατάγονταν από την Εύτρηση και έκτισαν τα πρώτα τείχη της επτάπυλης Θήβας, όπου και βασίλευσαν (Οδ. λ 262, Στράβων 9,2,28). Πριν είχαν οχυρώσει και την Εύτρηση. Ο Ζήθος ήταν σύζυγος της Αηδόνος, κόρης του Πανδάρεως, με οποία είχε αποκτήσει τον Ιτυλο (Οδ. τ 523), και ο Αμφίων τη Νιόβη, κόρη του Ταντάλου.

Antiope: In Homer (Odyss. xi. 260) a daughter of the Boeotian river-god Asopus, mother by Zeus of Amphion and Zethus. In later legend her father is Nycteus of Hyria or Hysiae. As he threatened to punish her for yielding to the approaches of Zeus under the form of a satyr, she fled to Epopeus of Sicyon. This king her uncle Lycus killed by order of his brother Nycteus, now dead, and led her back in chains. Arrived on Mount Cithaeron, she gave birth to twins--Amphion by Zeus, Zethus by Epopeus--whom Lycus left exposed upon the mountain. After being long imprisoned and ill-treated by Dirce, the wife of Lycus , she escaped to Cithaeron, and made acquaintance with her sons, whom a shepherd had brought up. She made them take a frightful vengeance upon Dirce by tying her to a furious bull, for doing which Dionysus drove her mad, and she wandered through Greece until Phocus, king of Phocis, healed her and made her his wife.

Antiope. A daughter of Nycteus and Polyxo (Apollod. iii. 5.5, 10.1), or of the river god Asopus in Bocotia (Odyss. xi. 260; Apollon. Rhod. i. 735). She became by Zeus the mother of Amphion and Zethus. Dionysus threw her into a state of madness on account of the vengeance which her sons had taken on Dirce. In this condition she wandered about through Greece, until Phocus, the grandson of Sisyphus, cured and married her. She was buried with Phocus in one common tomb (Paus. ix. 17.4).
