Hermus (Attica)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermus or Hermos (Ancient Greek: Ἕρμος) was a deme of ancient Attica. It lay on the sacred road to Eleusis, between the Cephissus and the Pythium, a temple of Apollo on Mount Poecilum, upon a rivulet of the same name. Here was the splendid monument of Pythonice, the wife of Harpalus.[1][2][3]

The site of Hermus is tentatively identified with Chaidari.[4][5]
