Another name for the Peloponnesian Peninsula.
The Peloponnesian Peninsula is appropriately equal to one third of the land-mass of Greece with an area of 8,356 square miles (21,642 square kilometers) and is the most southwestern part of the country.
Greece can be divided into several geographical areas which might include: the Mainland, the Peloponnesian Peninsula, the Islands and the Colonies; the Peloponnesian Peninsula was the seat of the early Mykenaean (Mycenaean) civilization and the powerful city-states of Argos and Sparta; Peloponnesus literally means, the land of Pelops, named after the legendary king, Pelops.
