* Argos  -> 24°M (00:01)
    Argos was the 100eyed giant whom Hera ordered to guard her husband Zeus's love interest Io and who got killed by Hermes. And that's not even the weirdest part of the story.
    The City of Argos was also the place where the demigod Perseus was born.

 

* Mycenae  -> 24°M (00:03)
    According to Greek myths Mycenae was founded by Perseus, beheader of Medusa and Husband of Andromeda. Also a certain Helen of Sparta was born here and later moved to Troy involuntarily
    after being promised to Paris/Alexander of Troy by Aphrodite. This resulted in a war best known for a wooden horse and someone called Odysseus who got a bit lost on his way home.

 

* Corinth  -> 74°M (00:07)
    The first king to rule Corinth was Sisyphus who cheated death twice and got a special task in Tartarus (hell) for his hubris. So let's not get caught.

* Delphi  -> 354°M (00:03)
    The oracle of Delphi is part of many stories.. she prophecised Leonidas' death and refused to help Heracles unless he would serve as a slave for a year..
