[[Anagyrus]] or [[Anagyrous]] (Ancient Greek: [[Ἀναγυροῦς]]), also [[Anagyruntus]] or [[Anagyrountos]] ([[Ἀναγυροῦντος]]), was a [[deme]] of ancient Athens, belonging to the phyle [[Erechtheis]], situated in the south of Attica near the promontory [[Zoster]]. Pausanias mentions at this place a temple of the mother of the gods. The ruins of Anagyrus have been found near Vari. The ancient name was maintained until 600 AD, as mentioned by geographer and historian Stephanus of Byzantium. According to one version, the name derives from the mythical Anagyrous, whose temple was located in the region. Anagyrous made the homes near his sacred grove tremble and collapse. He once exterminated an entire family who had cut trees from his sacred grove—hence the ancient proverb, "Anagryasion Daimon". Offerings and sacrifices were brought to Anagryous as attempts to appease his anger.

Another version derives from the plant Anagyris (Anagyris foe dita), referred to as emetic and as a laxative by Dioscorides (9-79 AD), and as an exorcism of ill fate by the Byzantine Suidas dictionary. The plant grows abundantly in the valley, exuding a terrible stench when touched or shaken. Aristophanes (Lysias 68) cites the following humorist dialogue:
