37°41′N 23°58′E / 37.68°N 23.96°E / 37.68; 23.96 Atene (Greek: Ἀτήνη) was a coastal (paralia) deme of Attica, belonging to the Antiochis tribe (phyle), with three representatives in the Boule.^[1]

It bordered Anaphlystus to the north and Amphitrope in the east,^[1] 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.^[1]

The area had been mostly uninhabited prior to the 5th century BC. The first epigraphic mention of Atene dates to 432 BC.^[1]

It prospered during the 5th to 4th centuries BC, with a dispersed settlement pattern,^[2] but was depopulated in the 3rd century BC, probably in the wake of the Chremonidean War.
