ΑΧΑΡΝΑΙ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΧΑΡΝΕΣ
Acharnae, Acharnai: Eth. Acharneus, Acharnanus, Adj. Acharnikos. The principal
demus of Attica, belonging to the tribe Oeneis, was situated 60 stadia N. of Athens,
and consequently not far from the foot of Mt. Parnes. It was from the woods of
this mountain that the Acharnians were enabled to carry on that traffic in charcoal
for which they were noted among the Athenians. (Aristoph. Acharn. 332.) Their
land was fertile ; their population was rough and warlike; and they furnished
at the commencement of the Peloponnesian war 3000 hoplites, or a tenth of the
whole infantry of the republic. They possessed sanctuaries or altars of Apollo
Aguieus, of Heracles, of Athena Hygieia, of Athena Hippia, of Dionysus Melpomenus,
and of Dionysus Cissus, so called, because the Acharnians said that the ivy first
grew in this demus. One of the plays of Aristophanes bears the name of the Acharnians.
Leake supposes that branch of the plain of Athens, which is included between the
foot of the hills of Khassia and a projection of the range of Aegaleos, stretching
eastward from the northern termination of that mountain, to have been the district
of the demus Acharnae. The exact situation of the town has not yet been discovered.
Some Hellenic remains, situated 3/4 of a mile to the westward of Menidhi, have
generally been taken for those of Archarnae; but Menidhi is more probably a corruption
of Paionidai.

ΔΕΚΕΛΕΙΑ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΧΑΡΝΕΣ
Deceleia (Dekeleia) was situated near the entrance of the eastern pass across Mount Parnes,which leads from the north-eastern part of the Athenian plain to Oropus, and from thence both to Tanagra on the one hand, and to Delium and Chalcis on the other. It was originally one of the twelve cities of Attica. (Strab. ix. p. 397.) It was situated about 120 stadia from Athens, and the same distance from the frontiers of Boeotia: it was visible from Athens, and from its heights also might be seen the ships entering the harbour of Peiraeeus. (Thuc. vii. 19; Xen. Hell. i. 1. 25) It was by the pass of Deceleia that Mardonius retreated from Athens into Boeotia before the battle of Plataeae (Herod. ix. 15); and it was by the same road that the grain was carried from Euboea through Oropus into Attica. (Thuc. vii. 28.) In B.C. 413 Deceleia was occupied and fortified by the Lacedaemonians under Agis, who kept possession of the place till the end of the war; and from the command which they thus obtained of the Athenian plain, they prevented them from cultivating the neighbouring land, and compelled them to bring the corn from Euboea round Cape Sunium. (Thuc. ii. 27, 28.) The pass of Deceleia is now called the pass of Tatoy. Near the village of this name there is a peaked height, which is a conspicuous object from the Acropolis: the exact site of the demus is probably marked by a fountain, near which are many remains of antiquity. (Leake.)

ΠΑΙΟΝΙΔΑΙ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΤΤΙΚΗ
Paeonidae (Paionidai, Paus. ii. 18. § 9), apparently the same as the Paeonia (Paionie) of Herodotus (v. 62), who describes Leipsydrium as situated above Paeonia. It was perhaps on the site of the modern Menidhi, since we know that the modern Greeks frequently change p into m; thus Pentele is also pronounced Mentele.

ΑΧΑΡΝΑΙ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΧΑΡΝΕΣ
The principal deme of Attica belonging to the tribe Oeneis,
60 stadia north of Athens, near the foot of Mt. Parnes. The land was fertile,
and the population rough and warlike, furnishing at the commencement of the
Peloponnesian War 3000 hoplites, or one-tenth of the whole infantry of the republic.
The deme gives the name to one of the plays of Aristophanes (Acharneis), represented
B.C. 425.

ΠΑΡΝΗΘΑ (Βουνό) ΑΤΤΙΚΗ
A mountain in the northeastern part of Attica, was a continuation of Mount Cithaeron, and formed part of the boundary between Boeotia and Attica. It was well wooded, abounded in game, and on its lower slopes produced excellent wine. On the summit were altars and a statue of Zeus.
ΑΧΑΡΝΑΙ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΧΑΡΝΕΣ
In the first year of the Peloponnesian War, Archidamos encamped the
Spartans at Acharnai, the largest of the Attic demes, 60 stades distant from Athens
(Thuc. 2.19.2, 21.2). In 404-403 B.C. the army of the Thirty Tyrants also camped
here in an action designed to guard against Thrasyboulos at Phyle (Diod. 14.32.6).
From these two notices it is therefore clear that the deme was located S of Mt.
Parnes in the general neighborhood of the modern villages of Menidi and Epano
Liosia. That Acharnai was in fact either at, or near, the former can be plausibly
argued from the number of inscriptions concerned with Acharnaians found in the
churches and houses of Menidi.
Proof of this identification, in the form of foundations of buildings,
is entirely lacking today, though in the early 19th c. the remains "of a
considerable town" could be observed 1 km to the W of Menidi beneath the
hill on which is the church dedicated to the Forty Saints. Thus some scholars
have felt free to look elsewhere for the inhabited center of Acharnai. Despite
the claims made for a broad, fortified hill called Yerovouno, 2 km SW of Menidi,
no compelling alternative has been advanced, and the weight of evidence still
makes Menidi the best choice for the location of Acharnai. There is perhaps still
hope that some remains from the Sanctuaries of Apollo Argyieus and Herakles, mentioned
by Pausanias (1.31.6), may yet be discovered. As for Ares and Athena Areia, their
temple may have been the one moved to the marketplace of Athens and there reinstalled
in Augustan times.

ΔΕΚΕΛΕΙΑ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΧΑΡΝΕΣ
One of the twelve cities that under Theseus gave up their autonomy
to form a new state with Athens as capital (Philochoros: FGrHist 328 F 94), Dekeleia
remained a deme in Classical times. It was situated 120 stades from Athens (Thuc.
7.19.2), on the road that led to Boiotia around the E end of Mt. Parnes (Hdt.
9.15). In the Peloponnesian War it was captured by Agis in 413 B.C., walled, and
remained a Spartan stronghold until the defeat of Athens in 404 B.C.
The city has long been associated with the ancient remains at Tatoi,
on the SE slopes of Parnes, within the grounds of the once royal estate. From
here, particularly in the area of the farm buildings, have come walls, pottery,
sculpture, and inscriptions, one of which (IG II2 1237) is concerned with the
phratry of the Demotionidai established at Dekeleia.
Immediately S of the farm buildings is the wooded hill called Palaiokastro,
its flat top now used as a cemetery for the Greek royal family. It was once a
fortified enclosure, with a circuit totaling more than 800 m of rubble wall. Much
of the foundation course remains in situ but is not generally accessible. Because
of its location and size, this fortified height has been rightly identified as
the site of Agis's camp.

Η θέση του αρχαίου δήμου τοποθετείται από τους ερευνητές στην περιοχή που καταλαμβάνει το βασιλικό κτήμα στο Τατόι και τη γύρω από αυτό περιοχή.
ΠΑΜΒΩΤΑΔΑΙ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΧΑΡΝΕΣ
Ο δήμος αυτός κατά τον Σουρμελή βρισκόταν επί της Πάρνηθας στη θέση Πάμφι, όπου το κτήμα της μονής Φανερωμένης, κατ' άλλους όμως δεν ήταν ορεινός αλλά παραλιακός δήμος..
