Laciadae or Lakiadai (Ancient Greek: Λακιάδαι) was a deme of ancient Attica on the Sacred Way between Sciron and the Cephissus, and near the sacred fig-tree. It is celebrated as the deme to which the family of Miltiades and Cimon belonged.[1][2] It took its name from the Attic hero Lacius.[3][4]
The site of Laciadae is tentatively located at 37°59′36″N 23°41′59″E / 37.993384°N 23.699604°E.[5][6]
