COASTAL DEMES OF ATTIKA
The way in which the demes and trittyes of Attika were grouped for the
formation of the Kleisthenic tribes is an important historical problem. The ten
coastal demes lying between Athens and Sounion constituted the three coastal
trittyes for three of the Athenian tribes, and in concentrating his study on these
coastal demes Professor Eliot has not only made a substantial contribution to
our knowledge of ancient Athens but has come to important conclusions about
Kleisthenes' constitution of the tribes.
The research for this book was done in Athens. Professor Eliot was therefore
able to make repeated visits to each area in order to study the terrain and the
ancient remains. He could examine the finds for each deme, and he had access
to all the excavation reports, including the accounts of the early travellers,
collectors, and excavators.
Professor Eliot handles this variety of evidence with a sure hand. He examines
each item of evidence in its own context and refrains from a general assessment
until all of the items can be viewed in relation to each other. To join Professor
Eliot in the search for clues in the ancient literature, read the travellers' notes,
watch the piecing together of the epigraphical remains, and walk the actual
ground in his company is to share in intellectual pursuits of a very high order.
c. w. J. ELIOT received his undergraduate education at the University of Toronto,
and was awarded the Ph.D. degree there in 1961. He has held various posts at the
American School of Classical Studies at Athens and is now Assistant Professor
of Classics, University of British Columbia.
