Halae Araphenides or Halai Araphenides (Ancient Greek: Ἁλαὶ Ἀραφηνίδες, romanized: Halái Araphenídes) was a deme of ancient Attica, situated on its eastern coast between Brauron and Araphen, and was the harbour of Brauron, whence persons crossed over to Marmarium in Euboea.
Halae was mentioned by Euripides[1] as close to the chain of Karystia.
In this place was conserved a statue of Artemis Tauria brought from Tauris by Iphigenia and Orestes.
In the deme, expiatory rites were held which consisted of withdrawing drops of blood from the throat of a man by means of a knife; furthermore, they had midnight feasts and Pyrrhic dances.
[2] The site of Halae Araphenides is located near modern Artemida, Attica (formerly, Loutsa).
