From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Porus or Poros (Ancient Greek: Πόρος) was a deme of ancient Attica, originally of the phyle of Acamantis but after 307/6 BCE, of the phyle of Demetrias, sending three delegates to the Athenian Boule.[1]

Its site is tentatively located near modern Metropisi.[2][3]
