Xypete

Xypete (Ancient Greek: Χυπέτη), also Xypeteum or Xypeteon (Χυπετεών),^[1] was said to have been likewise called Troja (Τροία), because Teucrus led from hence an Attic colony into Phrygia,^[2]^[1]^[3] was a deme of ancient Athens. It was apparently near Peiraeeus or Phalerum, since Xypete, Peiraeeus, Phalerum, and Thymoetadae formed the τετράκωμοι,^[4] which had a temple of Heracles in common (τετράκωμον Ἡρακλεῖον).^[5]

The site of Xypete is tentatively located northeast of Peiraieus.^[6]^[7]
