Decelea (Greek: Δεκέλεια), modern Dekeleia or Dekelia, Deceleia or Decelia, on the foothills of Mount Parnes, previous name Tatoi was a decisive source of supplies for Athens. Decelea was a deme of Attica, northwest of Athens, on the borders of Boeotia, near the sources of the Cephissus. With advise from Alcibiades, former Athenian General who was wanted on charges of religious crimes, Spartans fortified Decelea in the Peloponnesian War preventing Athens from getting supplied by land. This decimated Athens, who was already getting badly beat in the Sicilian Expedition.
