The Fountain of Peirene is a fountain located in middle of Korinth. Named after the nymph Peirene, the fountain was made up of multiple reservoirs and was connected with the spring on the Akrokorinth.

One of the most important religious sites in Sparta, the site hosted Sparta's brutal initiation ritual in which young boys were beaten by rod to prepare them for military service. Because Artemis is related to the ideas of nature and nourishment, she is also thought to be fruitful. Young women seen honouring the cult were considered to be celibate.

The imposing citadel of Argos was home to some of the important and magnificent sanctuaries in the city, housing the temples dedicated to Athena Polias, Zeus Larisaios, and Hera Akraia.

After bathing both sexes anointed themselves with oil, in order that the skin might not be left harsh and rough, especially after warm water. The use of precious unguents (μύρα) was unknown at that early period. In the heroic ages, as well as in later times, refreshments were usually taken after the bath.

The city was founded by and named after one of the rulers of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, Ptolemy III Euergetes (246–221 BC). What had been a small Greek settlement was transformed into a city that enclosed 280 hectares within its walls. Ptolemais probably served as the residence of the Ptolemaic governor of the region but, in spite of its large area, its population did not rival that of Cyrene.
