Acamantis
Acamantis (Greek: Ακαμαντίς, romanized: Akamantis) was one of the phylai (tribes) of classical Athens, created during the reforms of Cleisthenes.[1] It was named after the legendary hero Acamas, and included the demes of Cholargos, Eiresidai, Hermos, Iphistiadai, Kerameis, Kephale, Poros, Thorikos, Eitea, Hagnous, Kikynna, Prospalta and Sphettos.[2]
Pericles was a member of this tribe.[3]
