13City

Argos

Argos is an important city and royal center in northeastern Peloponnese in Greek mythology, linked with the legends of Io, Danae, Perseus, Acrisius, and other figures. It often appears as the setting for royal households, homecoming, purification, exile, and the unfolding of oracles.

14City

Corinth

Corinth is one of the important city-states of Greek myth, appearing in several royal, heroic, and exile traditions as a homeland, refuge, or political center. It is directly associated with Sisyphus, Bellerophon, Medea, the early identity of Oedipus, and the overland tradition of Theseus's journey toward Athens.

15City

Mycenae

Mycenae is an important royal city in the Argos region of Greek myth, especially linked in the Heracles cycle with the kingship of Eurystheus. It serves as the political center where Heracles, bound by an oracle, receives his labors and brings back his trophies.

16City

Sparta

Sparta is an important city-state of Laconia in Greek mythology and the royal city associated with Helen, Tyndareus, Menelaus, and other royal figures. It is especially important in the Trojan War tradition, because Helen's marriage, her abduction, and the oath sworn by the Greek kings all begin from this setting.

17City

Troy

Troy is the central city of the Trojan War in Greek myth, the royal city ruled by Priam and defended by Hector. Its importance comes from the ten-year siege, the great battles on the plain outside its walls, and its final fall through the stratagem of the Trojan Horse.

18Island

Ithaca

Ithaca is the island kingdom of Odysseus in Greek mythology and the destination of the homecoming narrative in the *Odyssey*. Its importance comes chiefly from Odysseus' kingship, the palace where Penelope and Telemachus wait for him, and the restoration of peace on the island after the suitors are killed.

19City

Pylos

Pylos is the city ruled by Nestor in Greek mythology and one of the important kingdoms in the homecoming traditions of the Trojan War heroes. It is especially significant in narratives connected with the *Odyssey*, because Telemachus first goes there to ask about the whereabouts of Odysseus.

20City

Troezen

Troezen is a city in the eastern Peloponnese, known in the legend of Theseus as the place where he was born and raised. Its importance comes chiefly from the royal succession story linking Aegeus, Aethra, Pittheus, and Theseus.

21Region

Arcadia

Arcadia is a mountainous region in Greek myth, often associated with hunting, woodland life, and local royal genealogies. Its importance lies chiefly in the settings of stories about Callisto, Arcas, Atalanta, and some of Heracles' labors.

22Region

Peloponnese

The Peloponnese is an important region and peninsula in Greek mythology, especially associated with Pelops' kingship, marriage, and naming tradition. In several heroic stories, it appears as the wider area containing cities, roads, coasts, and an entrance to the underworld.

23Region

Elis

Elis is a region in Greek mythology that appears in stories of Pelops, Oenomaus, and Augeas as a setting for kingship, racing, and heroic labor. Its importance comes chiefly from the throne of Pisa, the chariot race for Hippodamia, and Heracles' cleansing of the Augean stables.

24Island

Crete

Crete is an important island in Greek mythology, surrounded by the sea and linked to Zeus’s birth, Europa’s arrival, Minos’s court, and the labyrinth tradition. It is both the hiding place of the young king of the gods and a central setting in stories about Cretan kingship, the Minotaur, and Daedalus.
