It bordered Anaphlystus to the north and Amphitrope in the east, in what is now the southern part of Saronikos municipality. It had an area of about 20 km2, including the valleys of Charaka, Hagia Photini and Thimari as well as Gaidouronisi. The area had been mostly uninhabited prior to the 5th century BC.

Deme
In Ancient Greece, a deme or (, plural: ''demoi'', δήμοι) was a suburb or a subdivision of Classical Athens, Athens and other city-states. Demes as simple subdivisions of land in the countryside existed in the 6th century BC and earlier, but did not acquire particular significance until the reforms of Cleisthenes in 508 BC. In those reforms, enrollment in the citizen-lists of a deme became the requirement for citizenship; prior to that time, citizenship had been based on membership in a phratry, or family group. At this same time, demes were established in the main city of Athens itself, where they had not previously existed; in all, at the end of Cleisthenes' reforms, Classical Athens, Athens was divided into 139 demes., Three other demes were created subsequently: Berenikidai (224/223 BC), Apollonieis (201/200 BC), and Antinoeis (AD 126/127). The establishment of demes as the fundamental units of the state weakened the ''genos, gene'', or aristocratic family groups, that ...

Phyle
''Phyle'' (, ; pl. ''phylai'', ; derived from Greek , ''phyesthai'' ) is an ancient Greek term for tribe or clan. Members of the same ''phyle'' were known as ''symphyletai'' () meaning 'fellow tribesmen'. During the late 6th century BC, Cleisthenes organized the population of Athens in ten ''phylai'' (tribes), each consisting of three ''trittyes'' ("thirtieths"), with each ''trittys'' comprising a number of demes. Tribes and demes had their own officers and were self-administered. Some ''phylai'' can be classified by their geographic location, such as the Geleontes, the Argadeis, the Hopletes, and the Agikoreis in Ionia, as well as the Hylleans, the Pamphyles, the Dymanes in Doris.

It is situated about 65 km from Athens and 3 km from Sounion and is part of the Attica region. In ancient times, the island was known as ''Patroklou Charax'' (Πατρόκλου χάραξ, meaning "Camp of Patroclus") or ''Patroklou Nesos'' (Πατρόκλου νῆσος, meaning "Island of Patroclus"), after the Ptolemaic admiral Patroclus, who established a fortified base there during the Chremonidean War.

Dispersed Settlement
A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village. The French term '' bocage'' is sometimes used to describe the type of landscape found where dispersed settlements are common. In addition to Western Europe, dispersed patterns of settlement are found in parts of Papua New Guinea, as among the Gainj, Ankave, and Baining tribes. It is also frequently met with in nomadic pastoral societies. In Ghana, Kumbyili in the northern region is also an example of a dispersed settlement England In England, dispersed settlements are often found in the areas of ancient enclosure outside the central region—for example, Essex, Kent and the West Country.

It ended in a Macedonian victory that confirmed Antigonid dynasty, Antigonid control over Greece. The conflict is considered a seminal event in the history of Greece during the Hellenistic period, as it marked the last credible effort among the Greek city-states to re-establish their independence. The Chremonidean War is poorly documented and known mostly through fragmentary accounts by later historians Pausanias (geographer), Pausanias and Justin (historian), Justin. Classical Athens, Athens and Sparta sought a restoration of their former independence while Ptolemy II of Egypt, Ptolemy Philadelphus's ambitions in the Aegean Sea, Aegean were threatened by Antigonus II Gonatas, Antigonus Gonatas's fleet, so he built an anti-Macedonian coalition among the Greek city-states.
