NAUPLIA

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 279 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NAUPLIA , a town in the
Peloponnesus
 , at the head of the Argolic Gulf. In the classical period it was a place of no importance, and when Pausanias lived, about A.D. 150, it was deserted. At a very early time, however, it seems to have been of greater
note
 , being the seaport of the plain in which Argos and Mycenae are situated, and several tombs of the Mycenaean age have been found. A hero Nauplius took
part
  in the Argonautic expedition; another was king of Euboea. The mythic importance of the town revived in the middle ages, when it became one of the
chief
  cities of the Morea. It was captured in 1211 by Godfrey Villehardouin with the help of Venetian
ships
 ; a
French
  dynasty ruled in it for some time, and established the feudal
system
  in the country. In 1388 the Venetians bought Argos and Nauplia. In the wars between Venice and the Turks it often changed masters. It was given to the Turks at the peace concluded in 1540; it was recaptured by Venice in 1686, and Palamidhi on the hill overhanging the town was made a
great
  fortress. In 1715 it was taken by the Turks; in 1770 the Russians occupied it for a short time. The Greeks captured it during the War of Independence on the 12th of December 1822, and it was the seat of the
Greek
  administration till 1833, when Athens became the
capital
  of the country. It is the
chief
  town of the department of Argolis (pop. in 1907, 81,943). Pop. about 6000.
