TYRINTHA
On the road that links Argos to Nauplio, built upon a rocky height, is the Acropolis of Tyrintha, one of the most important cities of Mycenae, closely linked to the name of Hercules since it is believed to be his birthplace and the starting point of his mythical labors.
The city was founded by the hero Tyrinthas, the son of Argos and grandson of Zeus, who according to the legend was the one who built the impregnable walls with the help of the Cyclops.
Inhabited before the Bronze age, Tyrins flourished until the descent of the Doriis and was destroyed from the Argians in 460 BC.
If you visit Tyrintha, you will be stunned by the mythical Cyclopian walls, the tunnels as well as the palace, its main rooms and antechamber all decorated with frescoes.
