Note 277 — Chapter IV · CAPITAL CITIES OF GREECE.—ATHENS.
Reading edition
Antigone, in Sophocles, (Œdip. Col. 14-18) speaks of the towers of Athens as seen from Colonos, and describes that village, the birth-place of the poet, as rendered beautiful by the sacred grove of the Eumenides, consisting of the laurel, the olive, and the vine, in which a choir of nightingales showered their music on the ear.
