Argos and Corinth

Phoroneus was the one who established Argos, and he named

the city after his son Argos. It was the most significant city-
state in Ancient Greece for many years and the second
greatest city-state in all of Ancient Greece.

Before the Dorian invasion in the 12th century B.C., Argos

served as Mycenae's subordinate city-state. After it, Argos rose
to prominence as the most important Greek city-state in the
Peloponnese's northeastern region. Argos and the Early Hoplite
Greek lists begin in 680 BC proper, which coincides with the
dates attributed to the rise of King Pheidon of Argos, who is
attributed with formalizing the hoplite system and reuniting
the Argolid city-states under Argive rule. Despite this, Argos
became held in disgrace by other city-states in 480 BC when
Athens and Sparta asked Argos' polis to send supplies, and Ar
The military of Argos was very effective. Regardless matter
whether they were at war or at peace, Argos was always
industrious.

Argos and Sparta were two rival city-states in Ancient Greece.

Due to the fact that the city of Argos is situated on a plain,

the climate there tends to be chilly and damp in the winter
and scorching and dry during the summer. Because their
land is not very fruitful, the Argives are forced to compete
with the elements for sustenance. Despite the fact that this
was a significant obstacle for them, the Argives were superior
to the other Greek city-states and were the object of their
jealousy.

Argos was an important center of art and commerce during

the Roman era. It was an integral element of the Roman
province of Achaea (also known as the province of Argos),
which was established in 146 BC. The sculptures of athletes
that can be seen in Argos are renowned for being particularly
gorgeous and full of rippling muscle. They were also renowned
for the brilliant musicians and poets who lived among them.
More than 20,000 people would attend each performance at
the open-air theaters that were initially established at Argos,
the first of its kind in all of Greece. The level of drama in
Argos' polis reached unprecedented heights.
