| In 405 Sophocles showed in his last play how Oedipus passed from earth in the poet's own birthplace, colonus. |
| Curious and willing, Oedipus asks how he can do this and appease the Eumenides, whose sacred grove he violated after first entering Colonus. |
| The place to which they had come was in Attica, hear the city of colonus. |
| After touching the dead Jocasta and his two sons, he passes to exile and rest at colonus. |
| He argued that the Roman name was colonus, which readily was transformed to a Spanish equivalent. |
| The poet, preserving his habitual calmness, recited the famous chorus which contains the praises of colonus. |
