Myrtōum Maré

（τὸ Μυρτῶον πέλαγος). The part of the Aegaean Sea south of Euboea, Attica, and Argolis, which derived its name from the small island Myrtus, though others suppose it to come from Myrtilus, whom Pelops threw into the sea. (See Pelops.) The name of Mygdonia was first introduced after the Macedonian conquest.
