[37°41′N 23°58′E / 37.68°N 23.96°E / 37.68; 23.96](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Atene_(deme)&params=37.68_N_23.96_E_) **Atene** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Ἀτήνη) was a coastal (*paralia*) [deme](/source/Deme) of [Attica](/source/Attica), belonging to the [Antiochis tribe](/source/Antiochis#Athenian_clan_(phyle)) (*[phyle](/source/Phyle)*), with three representatives in the [Boule](/source/Boule_(ancient_Greece)).[1]

It bordered [Anaphlystus](/source/Anaphlystus) to the north and [Amphitrope](/source/Amphitrope) in the east,[1] in what is now the southern part of [Saronikos municipality](/source/Saronikos%2C_Attica).

It had an area of about 20 km2, including the valleys of Charaka, Hagia Photini and Thimari as well as [Gaidouronisi](/source/Patroklos_(Attica)).[1]

The area had been mostly uninhabited prior to the 5th century BC. The first epigraphic mention of Atene dates to 432 BC.[1]

It prospered during the 5th to 4th centuries BC, with a [dispersed settlement](/source/Dispersed_settlement) pattern,[2] but was depopulated in the 3rd century BC, probably in the wake of the [Chremonidean War](/source/Chremonidean_War).
