Steiria

STIRIA (Ancient demos) ATTIKI
Steiria (Steph.; Hesych.; Suid.; Plin. iv. 7. s. 11), on the east coast, between Prasiae and Brauron. (Strab. ix. p. 399.) Wordsworth says that it is an hour's walk from Prasiae to Brauron, and that on the way he passed some ruins, which must be those of Steiria. Stiris in Phocis is said to have been founded by the inhabitants of this demus. (Paus. x. 35. § 8.) The road from Athens to Steiria and the harbour of Prasiae was called the Steiriake hodos. (Plat. Hipparch. p. 229.) Steiria was the demus of Theramenes and Thrasybulus.
