Peleces

'''Peleces''' or '''Pelekes''' ({{Langx|grc|Πήληκες|Pēlēkes}}) were three [[deme|demoi]] of [[ancient Attica]], forming a community, as τρίκωμοι,<ref>{{Cite Stephanus|''sub voce'' Εὐρυπίδαι}}</ref> and probably, therefore, adjacent. If the reading in [[Thucydides]] is correct, διὰ Κρωπειᾶς,<ref>{{Cite Thucydides|2.19}}</ref> these demoi should be placed in the north of the Athenian plain, but many editors read διὰ Κεκροπίας.

The site of Peleces is tentatively located near modern [[Chasia]].<ref>{{Barrington Atlas|page=59}}</ref><ref>{{Cite DARE|31171}}</ref>
