	Argos - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Argeia, or territory of Argos proper, consisted of a shelving plain at the head of the Gulf of Argolis, enclosed between the eastern wall of the Arcadian plateau and the central highlands of Argolis.
		Hence Argos was perhaps the earliest town of importance in Greece; the legends indicate its high antiquity and its early intercourse with foreign countries (Egypt, Lycia, andc.).
		During the early Peloponnesian War Argos remained neutral; after the break-up of the Spartan confederacy consequent upon the peace of Nicias the alliance of this state, with its unimpaired resources and flourishing commerce, was courted on all sides.

	Nauplia - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		NAUPLIA, a town in the Peloponnesus, at the head of the Argolic Gulf.
		In the classical period it was a place of no importance, and when Pausanias lived, about A.D. 150, it was deserted.
		At a very early time, however, it seems to have been of greater note, being the seaport of the plain in which Argos and Mycenae are situated, and several tombs of the Mycenaean age have been found.

	Palamedes
		The destruction of Nauplia belongs to the period of Argive resurgence in the second quarter of the fifth century B., when as a result of the Persian Wars the domination of Sparta in the Peloponnese was shaken that had suddenly become a major power encouraged challenges to Spartan dominance.

	Greece - Corinth - Tiryns - Argos
		From the higher seats of the theatre of Argos, which rise much steeper than those of Syracuse, there is a most enchanting prospect to the right, over a rich plain, covered, when we first saw it, with the brilliant green of young vines and tobacco plants, varied with the darker hue of plane-trees and cypresses.
		The drive from Argos to Nauplia leads by Tiryns, then by a great marsh, which is most luxuriantly covered with green and with various flowers, and then along a good road all the way into the important and stirring town of Nauplia.
		We left Nauplia on a very fine morning, while the shepherds from the country were going through the streets, shouting and serving out their milk from skins, of which they held the neck in one hand, and loosened their hold slightly to pour it into the vessel brought to them by the customer.

	Classical Backpacking in Greece - J.P. Mahaffy's 'Greek Pictures'
		There was a day when Argos, not Sparta, was the leading capital in the Peloponnesus, and this is expressed by the legend which gives to the eldest brother of the Heracleids who conquered the land, the province of preference, and fixes him at Argos.
		The Gulf of Nauplia is very beautiful, and a sunset seen from the little port, with the gulf in the foreground, and the sun sinking behind the Arcadian mountains, is a sight one never forgets.
		From Nauplia to Argos is only a drive of an hour and a half, and on the way, not far outside the gates, we meet with the rock of Tiryns, standing out of the plain.

		Nauplia seems never to have attained, in ancient times, an importance equal to that which it acquired during the Byzantine empire, and which was even augmented when it became the chief town of the Morea under the Venetians and the Turks.
		During the time of the Greek empire, the name “he Nauplia” assumed the form “to Nauplion” or “to Anaplion,” or the same words in the plural number.
		The bishop of Argos is still entitled bishop of Anaplia and Argos.

		We drove on from Mycenae past Argos to Nauplia [Navplion], which is a charming place lying on a sheltered bay with hills behind, crowed by great Venetian forts, with the lion of St Mark's carved on all the walls.
		Our road from Nauplia lay up and down over incredibly bare hills; here and there a Pelasgic fort of dateless antiquity stood up on a rock and sometimes we saw a shepherd and a tinkling flock of goats; otherwise no human sign.
		Then we took the train and went to Argos, where we changed and fell in with all the D”rpfeld party, and so on here over a lovely mountain line.

	Walter VI of Brienne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, all of the Duchy except for Argos and Nauplia had been overrun by the Catalan Company, and Walter spent much of his life in an unsuccessful struggle to recover that inheritance of his grandmother's family, until the 1340s when he moved to Italy and France and left Argos-Nauplia to be ruled by guardians.
		The Duchy of Athens was not the first loss in his family: Walter's grandfather had been rejected from the succession of the kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus, and his great-great-grandfather had been Pretender of the throne of Sicily, as husband of the sister of William III of Sicily.
		As he had left Greece, his eldest surviving nephew Sohier d'Enghien was holding the lordship of Argos and Nauplia.

		In the 18th century the region was granted considerable autonomy under a series of Ottoman Beys appointed from the populace; a vain effort by the Turks, since the Maniot insurrection of 1821 was one of the chief sparks leading to the War of Independence for Greece.
		In the Peloponnesian War a coalition led by Mantinea and Argos and urged on by Athens was defeated (418 BCE) by Sparta at Mantinea.
		It should perhaps be noted that Charilaus is said to have been under the regency or tutelege of one Lycurgus.

		The discovery in the island of a number of gold ornaments belonging to the latest period of Mycenaean art suggests the inference that the Mycenaean culture held its own in Aegina for some generations after the [[Dorian]] conquest of Argos and Lacedaemon (see [[A]].
		It is usually stated on the authority of Ephorus, that Pheidon (q.v.) of Argos established a mint in Aegina.
		Though this statement is probably to be rejected, it may be regarded as certain that Aegina was the first state of European [[Greece]] to coin money.
