Potamus or Potamos (Ancient Greek: Ποταμός) was the name of several demoi of ancient Athens. They lay on the east coast north of Thoricus, and were once a populous place: they were celebrated as containing the sepulchre of Ion.[1][2][3][4] The port of Potamus was probably the one which received the Peloponnesian fleet in 411 BCE.[5]
The demoi were: Potamus Deiradiotes, Potamus Hypenerthen, and Potamus Kathyperthen.
