Aiantis
(Redirected from Aeantis)
Aiantis (Ancient Greek: Αἰαντίς) was a phyle of ancient Attica with six demes:[1] Aphidna, Marathon, Oenoe, Rhamnous, Tricorythus and Phalerum.[2] It was named in honour of Ajax the Great.
Marathon is located within the boundaries of this place.[3]
It is attested by Plutarch that fifty-two members of the tribe of Aiantis died from wounds sustained in the Battle of Plataea.[4]
The playwright Aeschylus came from deme Eleusis in Aiantis.[5] His family were eupatrids.[6]
