Plotheia

Plotheia (Ancient Greek: Πλώθεια) was a deme of ancient Attica and appears to have belonged to the district of Epacria, and to have been not far from Halae Araphenides.[1][2] It was noted for its festival celebrating the hero Pandion.[3]

Its site is located south of modern Stamata.[4][5]
