**Cydantidae** or **Kydantidai** ([Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language): Κυδαντίδαι) was a [deme](/source/Deme) in [ancient Attica](/source/Ancient_Attica), originally of the *[phyle](/source/Phyle)* of [Aegeis](/source/Aegeis), after 224/3 BCE of the *phyle* of [Ptolemais](/source/Ptolemais_(tribe)), sending one or two delegates to the [Athenian Boule](/source/Boule_(ancient_Greece)).[1]

This deme, along with that of [Ionidae](/source/Ionidae), venerated the *kolokratai*; these two demoi were the only ones, as far as we know, to venerate deities together.[2]

Its site is located near [Mendeli Monastery](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mendeli_Monastery&action=edit&redlink=1).[3][4]
