Cydantidae

'''Cydantidae''' or '''Kydantidai''' ({{Langx|grc|Κυδαντίδαι}}) was a [[deme]] in [[ancient Attica]], originally of the ''[[phyle]]'' of [[Aegeis]], after 224/3 BCE of the ''phyle'' of [[Ptolemais (tribe)|Ptolemais]], sending one or two delegates to the [[Boule (ancient Greece)|Athenian Boule]].<ref>{{cite web|first=Hans|last=Lohmann|publisher=Brill's New Pauly|title=Cydantidae |url=https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/brill-s-new-pauly/cydantidae-e625580|accessdate=October 10, 2018}}</ref>

This deme, along with that of [[Ionidae]], venerated the ''kolokratai''; these two demoi were the only ones, as far as we know, to venerate deities together.<ref>{{Cite journal|journal=Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik|title=The kolokratai of Kydantidai and Ionidai|author=David Whitehead|year=1993|volume= 95|pages=159–162}}</ref>
