Ancient Argos, located in the Peloponnese in Greece, was a major Mycenaean settlement in the Late Bronze Age (1700-1100 BCE) and remained important throughout the Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman periods until its destruction by the Visigoths in 395CE.
In ancient Greek mythology, the city gained its name from Argos (aka Argus), the son of Zeus and Niobe who reigned as the city's king and was famous for being covered in eyes or being 'all-seeing.'

Herodotus first recorded the myth of the traditional story of Argos being the origin of the ancient Macedonian royal house of the Argead dynasty of Philip II and Alexander the Great. As a strategic location on the fertile plain of Argolis, Argos was a major stronghold during the Mycenaean era. In classical times, Argos was a powerful rival of Sparta for dominance over the Peloponnese, but was eventually shunned by other Greek city-states after remaining neutral during the Greco-Persian Wars.

Argos perhaps reached its greatest dominance in the 7th century BCE under King Pheidon of Argos, who is credited by some ancient writers with devising a standard system of measures and weights, introducing to mainland Greece such military innovations as hoplite tactics and double grip shields, and being the first ruler to mint silver coinage (although scholars believe this latter innovation to have been introduced only in the 6th century BCE).
From the 7th to 5th century BCE, the polis or city-state dominated the surrounding valley and became a long-time rival to Sparta for dominance of the Argolid.
In 494 BC, Argos suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of its regional rival, Sparta, at the Battle of Sepeia. Following this defeat, Herodotus tells us the city suffered a form of stasis.
