Question

42. Which region on the map includes the Peloponnesian Peninsula where the Greek city-states developed?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D, as that is the region that includes the Peloponnesian Peninsula.

Explanation:

The Peloponnese is a Greek peninsula that forms the southern part of mainland Greece. It is separated from the rest of the country by the Corinthian Gulf and the Corinthian Nose. The largest city on the peninsula is Patras. In the Peloponnese there are important ancient remains, including the sanctuary of Olympia.

In ancient times, the Peloponnese was important because of the fact that the city of Sparta, a long-time rival of Athens, was located here. The ruins of the old city are now close to the current Mystras. Furthermore, ancient Corinth was also a very important city. The ruins of this ancient city, Korinthos archaia, are close to the modern city of Corinth. Furthermore, the sanctuary of Hera, a goddess from Greek mythology, was also famous at Argos. Shrines were dedicated to her in various places in the Peloponnese.
