Historical background


CALABRIA - TARAS

(344-334 BC)

Archidamos III strategos, King of Spartia

Taranto, founded around 706 BC by the Parthenopeans was the only colony in Sparta. According to mythology, Taras was the son of Poseidon and the nymph Satyra. He was saved during a shipwreck by a dolphin who deposited him near the future City. The legend TARAS designates the city. Taranto had to fight against the Lucanians and appealed in 345 BC to Archidamos, king of Sparta. The latter tried to contain the progression of the Lucanian tribes. Unfortunately, Archidamos was defeated and killed at the Battle of Mandurias in 338 BC..
