Eliot C.W.J. Coastal Demes of Attika: A Study of the Policy of Kleisthenes

Toronto: Toronto University Press, 1962. — X, 181 p. — (Phoenix Supplementary Volumes 5).The way in which the demes and trittyes of Attika were grouped for the formation of the Kleisthenic tribes is an important historical problem. The ten coastal demes lying between Athens and Sounion constituted the three coastal trittyes for three of the Athenian tribes, and in concentrating his study on these coastal demes Professor Eliot has not only made a substantial contribution to our knowledge of ancient Athens but has come to important conclusions about Kleisthenes' constitution of the tribes.
