Colonus, Ancient deme in Athens, Greece
Located at coordinates 37.995833 latitude and 23.715278 longitude, Colonus stands as an inland settlement within the boundaries of ancient Athens.
The deme belonged to the tribe of Aigeis, one of the original administrative divisions of Athens established during the political reforms of the 6th century BC.
Thespis, recognized as the originator of Greek drama and theatrical performances, was born in this ancient Athenian district.
The archaeological remains of Colonus provide researchers with evidence of early Athenian political organization and social structures through recovered artifacts and architectural elements.
Within the tribe of Aigeis, Colonus formed part of a contiguous geographical area, differentiating it from other scattered tribal territories in ancient Attica.
