In the 12th century, a castle on Larissa hill was built. Eclipsed by nearby Sparta after the 6th century BC, Argos remained neutral or the ineffective ally of Athens during the 5th century BC struggles between Sparta and Athens. In Homeric times it belonged to a follower of Agamemnon and gave its name to the surrounding district— the Argolid— which the Romans knew as Argeia. Its founding legend can be read under Danaus.

Because of its refusal to fight in the Persian War, Argos was shunned by most other city-states. Argos, along with the neighboring acropoleis of Mycenae and Tiryns became very early settlements because of their commanding positions in the midst of the fertile plain of Argolid. The region of Argos was — and is — called the Argolid. It was a major stronghold of Mycenaean times, but the pre-Greek name of its acropolis, Larissa, reveals that it was a Pelasgian settlement. The name of the city originates from the ancient Greek root arg- (PIE *arg-), which signified something bright (hence argyros, silver).
