**Tricorythus** or **Trikorythos** ([Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language): Τρικόρυθος) or **Tricorynthus** or **Trikorynthos** (Τρικόρυνθος) or **Tricorinthus** or **Trikorinthos** (Τρικόρινθος) was a [deme](/source/Deme) of [ancient Athens](/source/Ancient_Athens), in the plain of [Marathon](/source/Marathon%2C_Greece) in northeast [Attica](/source/Ancient_Attica). It along with [Oenoe](/source/Oenoe_(Marathon)), Marathon, and [Probalinthus](/source/Probalinthus), formed the [Attic Tetrapolis](/source/Tetrapolis_(Attica)), one of the twelve districts into which Attica was divided before the time of [Theseus](/source/Theseus). The plain near Tricorythus was where the right of the [Persian](/source/Ancient_Persia) army were forced into the marsh during the [Battle of Marathon](/source/Battle_of_Marathon).

The site of Tricorythus is located northeast of [Kato Souli](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kato_Souli&action=edit&redlink=1).[1][2]
