Alopece (Ancient Greek: Ἀλωπεκή, romanizedAlopeke), also spelt as Alopecae, was an asty-deme of the city of Athens,[1] but located exterior to the city wall of Athens.[2][3] Alopece belonged to the tribal group (phyle) of Antiochis.[4][5][6] It was situated only eleven or twelve stadia from the city,[7] and not far from Cynosarges.[8] It possessed a temple of Aphrodite,[9] and also apparently one of Hermaphroditus.[10]
