Most famous Greek myths have origins tied to specific places in Greece. This includes myths like Persephone who was abducted by Hades in Eleusis, Daedalus and Icarus who fell from the sky near Icaria island after flying too close to the sun with wax wings, and Heracles who performed labors including defeating the Nemean Lion and Stymphalian birds near lakes in those areas. Other mythic places include Geryon's island home, the location of the golden apples guarded by the Hesperides which is debated between islands of Cyprus or Cythera, and the setting of the love story between Erotokritos and Aretousa in Athens as recounted
