Mythology was an integral part of the lives of the ancient people of Greece and the Peloponnese is a region rich in myths and legends surrounding their Gods and heroes. Stories were told of the wars they fought, kingdoms they ruled and heroic deeds done, and continue to be passed on today in plays, paintings and poems. Agamemnon's City of Gold at Mycenae, Ancient Corinth with its history of invasions and struggles for power, and the outstanding acoustics of the ancient theatre at Epidaurus, where plays and concerts are still held today; these are sites we can visit which bring Ancient Greece thrillingly back to life.
