Philaidae (deme)

Philaidae or Philaidai (Ancient Greek: Φιλαΐδαι) was a deme of ancient Attica, which appears to have been near Brauron, since it is said to have derived its name from , the son of the Telamonian Ajax, who dwelt in Brauron. Philaïdae was the deme of Peisistratus.^[1]^[2]

Its site is located about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) west of the basilica at Brauron.^[3]^[4]
