Ephyre
Korinth

The archaic name for the city of Korinth (Corinth).

  Recounting his heritage, the Trojan ally Glaukos (Glaukus) said his great-great grandfather Sisyphos (Sisyphus) came from Ephyre. Also, Glaukos' grandfather Bellerophontes (Bellerophon) lived in Ephyre until he was unjustly banished to Lykia (Lycia), in southern Anatolia.

1. Anatolia—corresponding essentially to modern-day Turkey.
