What city was founded by a Greek hero and is located on the Mediterranean Sea?
Tyre, Lebanon Tyre (Arabic: صور‎ ‎ , "Ṣūr"; Phoenician: 𐤑𐤅𐤓 , "Ṣur"; Hebrew: צוֹר‎ , "Tsor"; Tiberian Hebrew , "Ṣōr"; Akkadian: , "Ṣurru"; Greek: Τύρος, "Týros"; Turkish: "Sur" ; Latin: "Tyrus" , Armenian Տիր [Dir]), sometimes romanized as Sour, is a city in the South Governorate of Lebanon. There were approximately 117,000 inhabitants in 2003. However, the government of Lebanon has released only rough estimates of population numbers since 1932, so an accurate statistical accounting is not possible. Tyre juts out from the coast of the Mediterranean and is located about 80 km south of Beirut. The name of the city means "rock" after the rocky formation on which the town was originally built. The adjective for Tyre is "Tyrian", and the inhabitants are "Tyrians".
Sea of Crete The Sea of Crete (Greek: Κρητικό Πέλαγος , "Kritiko Pelagos") is a sea, part of the Aegean Sea, located in its Southern extremity. The sea stretches to the North of the island of Crete, East of the islands of Kythera and Antikythera, South of the Cyclades, and West of the Dodecanese islands of Rhodes, Karpathos and Kassos. The bounding sea to the West is the Ionian Sea. To the Northwest is the Myrtoan Sea - between Peloponnese and the Cyclades, also part of the Aegean Sea. To the East-SE is the rest of the Mediterranean Sea, sometimes credited as the Levantine Sea. Across the island of Crete, to the opposite shore of it begins the Libyan Sea. Ferry routes to and from Piraeus and Heraklion, as well as the Southern islands of the Aegean and the Dodecanese, run in this area. Just off the coastline of Northeastern Crete the sea reaches a maximum depth of near 3,294 m (10,000 ft.) Other sources (maps) show a maximum depth of 2,591 m.(8,500 ft.)
