Kydathenaion

Kydathenaion (Greek: Κυδαθήναιον, Latin: Cydathenaeum) was one of the demes in ancient Athens. It belonged in the phyle (tribe) Aigeis (Greek: Αἰγηΐς).

When Cleisthenes formally established the deme system in 508/7 BC, Kydathenaion was the third largest deme after Acharnae and Aphidna. Its population is estimated to have been around 3300–3600 people.

Kydathenaion was one of the five demes located within the walls of the city of Athens (alongside Koile, Kollytos, Melite, and Skambonidai).

Kydathenaion was in the very heart of Athens: it contained Acropolis, and possibly Areopagus.
