According to Greek
legend, Parthenope
was the daughter of
the god Achelous
and the Muse
Terpsichore. She
cast herself into the
sea and drowned
when her songs
failed to entice
Odysseus. Her
body washed
ashore at Naples,
on the island of
Megaride, where
the Castel dell'Ovo
is now located.
When people from
the city of Cumae
settled there, they
named their city
Parthenope in her
honour

A Roman myth tells a different
version of the tale, in which a
centaur named Vesuvius was

Naples. Thwarted in his
desire, Vesuvius' rage is
manifested in the volcano's
frequent violent eruptions

Naples is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest municipality in Italy after Rome and Milan. In 2017, around
967,069 people lived within the city's administrative limits while its province-level municipality has a population of 3,115,320
residents. First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas
in the world. In the ninth century BC, a colony known as Parthenope was established on the Island of Megaride, later
refounded as Neápolis in the sixth century BC. The city was an important part of Magna Graecia, played a major role in the
merging of Greek and Roman society and a significant cultural centre under the Romans. It was capital of the Duchy of Naples
(661-1139), then the Kingdom of Naples (1282 and 1816) and finally the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861
