1690 BC | Apis, son of Phoroneus, annexed Sicyon, and Peloponnesus came to be called Apia after Apis. [Apo.2.1.1, Paus.2.5.7]

** Peloponnesus was called Apia because it was "the land of pears." [Athen.14.650c]

1635 BC | Epidaurus, son of Argus, son of Niobe, founded Epidaurus. [Paus.2.26.2]

** The southeastern part of the Italian peninsula was called Peucetia in honor of Peucetius. [Plin.3.16.1]

** The migration of Oenotrus and Peucetius was also due to internal conflict in Argos, and it is believed that they originated from Argos, not Sicyon.

1625 BC | Ereuthalion, son of Criasus, founded Ereuthalia near Argos. [FGrH.333.F66]

1620 BC | Peirasus, son of Argus, son of Niobe, founded the temple of Hera in Argos. [Euseb.Pra.3.8]

** Argus made a statue of Hera out of a pear tree. [Cleme.Exho.4]

** Peiras appointed his daughter Callithyia as his first priestess. [Euseb.Pra.3.8]

** Callithias, son of Pirantos, became the first priest. [JeromeChro.1637] This is likely a mistake for Callithyia, daughter of Peiras.

1601 BC | Phorbas, son of Criasus, son of Argus, usurped the throne of Argos from Triops, son of Peirasus, son of Argus.

1601 BC | Argus, son of Agenor, founded a city on the site of what would later become Mycenae and named it Argion. [PsPlut.NRM.18]

** Argus was called many-eyed or all-seeing. [Apo.2.1.2, PsPlut.NRM.18]

** Around the same time, Argus married Ismene, daughter of Thurimachus of Sicyon.

** Since the time of Apis, Sicyon and Argos had been enemies. The marriage of Argus and Ismene and the founding of Argion are likely the result of a battle.

1601 BC | Argus married Ismene, daughter of Thurimachus, the seventh king of Sicyon. [Estimated from Apo.2.1.3]
