⭐ Core Definition: Hadrianis

Adrianis (also Hadrianis, Ancient Greek: Ἀδριανίς) was a tribe (phyle) added by the ancient Athenians to the previous list of 12 tribes in 126−127 A.D. The tribe was named after the Roman emperor Hadrian. Hadrian first visited Athens in the fall of 125 A.D., with the Athenians considering him as their savior. The emperor liked the city and stayed until spring, with his largesse helping to build some of the most interesting buildings of Athens, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Athens truly worshipped Hadrian.

Hadrian's statue was added to the Monument of the Eponymous Heroes, starting the so-called Period V.

Hadrianis in the context of Aphidna

Aphidna (Ancient Greek: Ἄφιδνα) or Aphidnae or Aphidnai (Ἀφίδναι) was one of the twelve ancient towns of ancient Attica. It was celebrated in the mythical period as the place where Theseus deposited Helen of Troy, entrusting her to the care of his friend Aphidnus. When the Dioscuri invaded Attica in search of their sister, the inhabitants of Deceleia informed the Lacedaemonians where Helen was concealed, and showed them the way to Aphidna. The Dioscuri thereupon took the town, and carried off their sister. We learn, from a decree quoted by Demosthenes, that Aphidna was, in his time, a fortified town, and at a greater distance than 120 stadia from Athens. As an Attic deme, it belonged in succession to the tribes Aeantis, Leontis, Ptolemais, and Hadrianis.

The site of Aphidna is located at Kotroni near the modern town of Afidnes.
