Erechtheis

Erechtheis (Ancient Greek: Ἐρεχθηΐς) was a phyle (tribe) of ancient Attica with fourteen demes. [1][2]

Demes

The demes were Agryle (Upper and Lower), Euonymon, Themakos, Anagyrous, Kedoi, Lamptrai (Upper and Coastal), Pambotadai, Kephisia, Pergase (Upper and Lower), Phegous, Sybridai. [1]

Tribal affiliates

Critias is thought, hypothetically, to have belonged to this phyle, but it is uncertain as to the veracity of this claim. [3]
