Greek & Roman Geography (ed. William Smith)

Hecale (Hekale), probably near Marathon, since this demus is said to have obtained its name from a woman who hospitably received Theseus into her house, when he had set out to attack the Marathonian bull, which was ravaging the Tetrapolis. It contained a sanctuary of Zeus Hecaleius. (Philochor. ap. Plut. Thes. 14; Suid. s. vv. Hekale, Kolias, Epaulia; Steph. s. vv. Hekale, Hiapis, Trinemeis; Schol. ad Aristoph. Acharn. 127.)
