Argos is a Greek city-state with a very interesting history. Argos is four miles away from the Argotic gulf, at the northeastern Peloponnesus. Argos was a major stronghold of Mycenaean times, which was the period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to 1100 BC. The pre-Greek name of its acropolis is Larrisa, which means literally the edge of a town or a high city. This reveals that Argos was a Pelasgian settlement. Pelasgians were groups of people who preceded the Hellenes and still dwelt in several locations in mainland Greece, and Crete. Foroneas built Argos, and he was the son of the first king of Argos, Inahos. Argos was the first formed town in Greece, as well as in Europe. It covered an area of 1000 meters squared. Argos is a really interesting city-state, and has an awesome history.
