Erchia

Erchia or Erkhia (Ancient Greek: Ἐρχία; also spelled Ἔρχεια and Ἑρχιά) was a deme of ancient Attica, of the phyle of Aegeis, sending six or seven delegates to the Athenian Boule, but eleven delegates after 307/6 BCE. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, in Greek mythology, the name comes from an inhabitant of the deme who hosted Demeter.
