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".
Cecrops I Cecrops (Ancient Greek: Κέκροψ , "Kékrops"; "gen".: Κέκροπος) was a mythical king of Athens who, according to Eusebius reigned for fifty years. The name is not of Greek origin according to Strabo, or it might mean 'face with a tail': it is said that, born from the earth itself, he had his top half shaped like a man and the bottom half in serpent or fish-tail form. He was the founder and the first king of Athens itself, though preceded in the region by the earth-born king Actaeus of Attica. Cecrops was a culture hero, teaching the Athenians marriage, reading and writing, and ceremonial burial.
