Histoire
Echelidae or Echelidai (Ἐχελίδαι) was a deme of ancient Attica. It was so called from the hero Echelus, and lay between Peiraeeus and the Heracleium, in or near a marshy district, and possessed a Hippodrome, in which horse-races took place. It is probable that this Hippodrome is the place to which the narrative in Demosthenes refers, in which case it was near the city.
