Hippeios Colonus
In classical Greece Hippeios Colonus (/kəˈloʊnəs/; Greek: Ἵππειος Κολωνός, "Colonus of the Horses") was a deme about 1 km (0.62 mi) to the northwest of Athens, near Plato's Academy. The modern neighborhood of Kolonos is named after it.
Hippeios Colonus held a temple of Poseidon and a sacred grove to the Eumenides.
According to Greek mythology, Oedipus was buried there, as described by Sophocles, who was born there, in his Oedipus at Colonus.
In the Athenian oligarchic revolution of 411, the oligarchs convened at the sanctuary of Poseidon Hippios at Colonus to frame their new constitution.
