ABSTRACT
Argos is between 1450 and 1300 BC, prosperous times for the Argolid as a whole, that Argos emerges as a significant city in comparison with Mycenae and at the end of that period it appears to suffer less from the wave of destruction than either Mycenae or Tiryns. The tomb of Danaos was to be found in the middle of the agora of Argos, so obeying the rule that 'Founders were customarily buried in the city centre'. Egypt infects all surviving versions of the story, even the earliest - the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women and the epic Danais, of which only two relevant lines survive: Then it was that they armed swiftly, the daughters of Danaos, Before the well-flowing river of the Lord Nile. Lindos has produced late Mycenaean remains, and colonization from the Mycenaean Argolid is evident elsewhere in Rhodes - just as we have seen the name Iasos forge a connection between the populations of Tiryns and Rhodes.
