Hermus or Hermos ( Ancient Greek: Ἕρμος) was a deme of ancient Attica. It lay on the sacred road to Eleusis, between the Cephissus and the Pythium, a temple of Apollo on Mount Poecilum, upon a rivulet of the same name. Here was the splendid monument of Pythonice, the wife of Harpalus. [1] [2] [3]
The site of Hermus is tentatively identified with Chaidari. [4] [5]
