The inhabitants of the island of Aegina which is located in the Saronic Gulf mid-way between Attika (Attica) on mainland Greece and Argolis on the Peloponnesian Peninsula.
In The Iliad, Akhilleus (Achilles) was the leader of the Myrmidons; when the inhabitants of the island of Aegina were wiped out by a plague, Zeus repopulated the island by creating people from ants; Myrmidons literally means Ants.
