		The Cephisus, rising in Pentelicus, enters the sea at New Phalerum; in summer it dwindles to an in-significant stream, while the Ilissus, descending from Hymettus, is totally dry, probably owing to the destruction of the ancient forests on both mountains, and the consequent denudation of the soil.
		To the south-east of the Acropolis, beyond the narrow valley of the Ilissus, is the hill Ardettus (436 ft.).
		The distance from the Acropolis to the nearest point of the sea coast at Phalerum is a little over 3 M. The natural situation of Athens was such as to favour the growth of a powerful community.

	William Smith : A Smaller History of [Ancient] Greece - Athens in the time of Pericles
		But the views of Themistocles were not confined to the mere defence of Athens: he contemplated making her a great naval power, and for this purpose adequate docks and arsenals were required.
		Previously the Athenians had used as their only harbour the open roadstead of PHALERUM on the eastern side of the Phaleric bay, where the sea-shore is nearest to Athens.
		It was soon found, however, that the space thus enclosed was too vast to be easily defended; and as the port of Phalerum was small and insignificant in comparison with the Piraeus, and soon ceased to be used by the Athenian ships of war, its wall was abandoned and probably allowed to fall into decay.

		The city was governed on behalf of Cassander by Demetrius of Phalerum [4], and a garrison had been installed in Munychia [5].
		By a combination of good luck and foresight he appeared before Piraeus on the 26th of Thargelion [6]; no one had spotted him beforehand and when his fleet was sighted off-shore, they all believed the ships were Ptolemy's and made ready to receive them.
		Demetrius of Phalerum and his followers thought they had in any case to welcome the man who had force on his side, even if there was no certainty that he would keep his promises, but nonetheless they sent off a deputation to convey their requests.

		Montanari, "Demetrius of Phalerum on Literature," considers the paucity of evidence on literary matters, especially given confusion between the various Demetrii.

		They then charged the enemy's camp with their horse, which fell with such fury upon the Lacedaemonians as to kill numbers, among the rest Anchiomolius, the general, and to drive the remainder to their ships.

	Piraeus
		The Peiraeus was a parish from early times, though it was not a port before Themistocles became an archon of the Athenians.
		Their port was Phalerum, for at this place the sea comes nearest to Athens, and from here men say that Menestheus set sail with his fleet for Troy, and before him Theseus, when he went to give satisfaction to Minos for the death of Androgeos.
		But when Themistocles became archon, since he thought that the Peiraeus was more conveniently situated for mariners, and had three harbors as against one at Phalerum, he made it the Athenian port.

		Although the quality and success of Demetrius of Phalerum's rule is still debated, he was certainly an authority who represented Macedonian domination over Athens.
		Demetrius of Phalerum was quite an active and prolific Peripatetic philosopher in his own right, which could only reinforce the connection in the Athenian mind between the Peripatos and Macedon.41
		The tradition that Theophrastus taught both Menander and Demetrius of Phalerum is quite plausible.42 Theophrastus kept up direct ties with Macedon.

	Ethics of the Hellenistic Era by Sanderson Beck
		In 307 BC Antigonus' son Demetrius took the Peiraeus by surprise, allowed Demetrius of Phalerum to retreat to Thebes and then Egypt, and captured the Cassandrian garrisons at Munychia and Megara, declaring the Megarians free and destroying the fortifications at Munychia.
		Resentment of the aristocratic government of Cassander and Demetrius of Phalerum influenced by the philosopher Theophrastus (Aristotle's successor) and the speech-writer Deinarchus led a Sophocles to propose and pass a law that no philosopher could open a school without permission of the council and assembly.
		Against the advice of Demetrius of Phalerum he associated in his rule Berenice's and his son, who two years later became Ptolemy II Philadelphus and locked up Demetrius, who was then killed by an asp.

		The Eginetans, who were at that time a most flourishing people, elated with their greatness, and at the same time calling to mind their ancient feud with Athens, agreed to lend the Thebans aid, and forthwith went to war with the Athenians, without even giving them notice by a herald.
		The attention of these latter being engaged by the struggle with the Boeotians, the Eginetans in their ships of war made descents upon Attica, plundered Phalerum, and ravaged a vast number of the townships upon the sea-board, whereby the Athenians suffered very grievous damage.
		In the midst of their hauling suddenly there was a thunderclap, and with the thunderclap an earthquake; and the crew of the trireme were forthwith seized with madness, and, like enemies, began to kill one another; until at last there was but one left, who returned alone to Phalerum.
