ΟΙΝΟΗ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΤΤΙΚΗ
Site: Oinoe
Type: Fortification
Summary: Rectangular fortification at the eastern end of the Mazi
plain in Northern Attica.
Date: ca. 450 B.C. - 300 B.C.
Period: Late Clas./Hell.
Plan:
Fortified wall with projecting towers. Towers on 4 corners, 1 tower between corners
on the east and west walls, 2 towers along the north wall.
History:
Only the north wall is well preserved. The southern boundary is uncertain. Also
known as the Myoupolis fort. The pottery, masonry and the location of the site
correspond to the known history of the fortified deme of Oinoe. Oinoe is known
to have been walled before 431 B.C. and served as an important outpost for the
Athenians until the latter phases of the Peloponnesian War. It apparently controlled
the roads from Boeotia through the Mazi plain, between Eleusis and Athens. The
limestone construction of the west wall could date ca. 420-380 B.C. The conglomerate
construction is no earlier than the 2nd half of the 4th century B.C. Black-glazed
pottery found inside the wall dates from the 2nd half of the 5th century B.C.
through the Hellenistic period.
