The domain of King Peleus, father of Achilles.
At the time of the Trojan War, Pelasgian Argos included the cities of Alope, Trechis, Alos, and the territories of Hellas and Phthia.
The appellation Pelasgian refers to the prehistorical settlers of the Balkan Peninsula—the Pelasgians. Adding Pelasgian to the name Argos denotes its antiquity and differentiates it from Argos on the Peloponnesian Peninsula.
The geographer Strabo (first century BCE) clearly defined the territory of Pelasgian Argos by saying it lies between the outlets of the Peneios (Peneius) River and Thermophylae, extending as far as the mountain regions of the Pindos (Pendus) River.
