Tiryns (ancient Greek Τίρυνς, modern Greek Τίρυνθα Tíryntha) is an ancient city on the Peloponnese, approximately 7 km southeast of Argos, along the Argolic Gulf. The city extended over a limestone rock that rose up to 30 meters high, spanning about 300 meters in length and 40-100 meters in width. Originally, the coastline was closer to the settlement, and during the Early Bronze Age, it was temporarily only about 300 meters away from the settlement hill. The site has been inhabited since the Neolithic period (Stone Age). From the 3rd millennium BCE, Tiryns became one of the key centers of Bronze Age Europe.
According to legend, Tiryns was founded by Proitos. He commissioned the Cyclopes from Lycia to construct the fortification walls of Tiryns. Proitos was the brother of Akrisios, whose grandson, Perseus, is said to have founded Mycenae in Tiryns during his rule. Two generations later, Heracles served King Eurystheus, the grandson of Perseus, for twelve years to cleanse himself from the killing of his own children. During this time, he accomplished his famous twelve labors. Additionally, part of the myth of the hero Bellerophon is set in Tiryns.
