Alopece

Alopece (Ancient Greek: Ἀλωπεκή, romanised: Alopeke), also spelt as Alopecae, was an asty-deme of the city of Athens,[1] but located exterior to the city wall of Athens.[2][3] Alopece was situated only eleven or twelve stadia from the city,[4] and not far from Cynosarges.[5] It possessed a temple of Aphrodite,[6] and also apparently one of Hermaphroditus.[7]

Alopece belonged to the tribal group Antiochis.[8][9][10]
