Acamantis in the context of "Hagnous"

Thorikos or Thoricus (Ancient Greek: Θορικός) was a city, and later a deme in the southern portion of ancient Attica, one of the twelve original settlements that were united in the synoikismos attributed to Theseus to form Archaic Athens. It was later a deme of the phyle of Acamantis. Near it are the mines of Laurion, where lead and silver was mined from Neolithic times, and worked in the industrial quarter of the settlement. There is a theatre dating from c. 525–480 BC. The modern site is Lavrio.

Iphistiadae (Ancient Greek: Ἰφιστιάδαι, romanized: Iphistiadai) or Hephaestiadae (Ancient Greek: Ἡφαιστιάδαι, romanized: Hephaistiadai) was one of the demes, or townships of Acamantis, one of the ten phylae of Attica established by Cleisthenes at the end of the sixth century BC. It seems to have been named for Iphistius, an obscure hero, with the alternative form, Hephaestiadae, arising from the mistaken assumption that it was named after the god Hephaestus, a much more familiar figure. The two names misled the geographer William Martin Leake to identify Iphistiadae and Hephaestiadae as two separate demes. Iphistiadae is mentioned in the Ethnica of Stephanus of Byzantium, and the lexicon of Hesychius of Alexandria.

Plato owned an estate at Iphistiadae, which by will he left to a certain youth named Adeimantus, presumably a younger relative, as Plato had an elder brother or uncle by this name. Diogenes Laërtius describes the provision:

Cephale or Kephale (Ancient Greek: Κεφαλή) was a deme of ancient Attica of the phyle Acamantis, that appears, from the order in which it occurs in the list of Pausanias, to have been situated south or east of Hymettus, perhaps in the neighbourhood of Brauron, where Ludwig Ross found an inscription containing the name of this deme. Cephale possessed a temple of the Dioscuri, who were here called the Great Gods.

The site of Cephale is located east of modern Keratea.

Porus or Poros (Ancient Greek: Πόρος) was a deme of ancient Attica, originally of the phyle of Acamantis but after 307/6 BCE, of the phyle of Demetrias, sending three delegates to the Athenian Boule.

Its site is tentatively located near modern Metropisi.

Eitea (Ancient Greek: Εἰτέα) was a deme of ancient Attica, originally of the phyle of Acamantis, between 307/6 BCE and 201/0 BCE of Antigonis, and after 126/7 CE of Hadrianis, sending two delegates to the Athenian Boule.

Its site is unlocated.

Cicynna or Kikynna (Ancient Greek: Κίκυννα) was a deme of ancient Attica of the phyle of Acamantis, sending two or three delegates to the Athenian Boule.

It was the native deme of Strepsiades, the protagonist in Aristophanes' The Clouds. Representing the generality of the deme, Aristophanes depicts this character as a prosperous farmer and attentive to his lazy son. Probably Cicynna had his own diasia, the most important festival to Zeus in Attica, in which the god was honored as Zeus Meilichius: this is evident from a passage from the aforementioned comedy by Aristophanes. The party was held on the 23rd of Anthesterion (around the beginning of March); the richest people offered sacrifices, and the poorest burned incense.

Prospalta (Ancient Greek: Πρόσπαλτα) was a deme of ancient Attica in the phyle Acamantis. It lay in the interior, between Zoster and Potamus.

Its site is located northwest of modern Kalyvia Thorikou.
