Stories that spring from mythology take place here, since according to the myth of "Lernaia Hydra" it lived here, until Hercules killed the monster with his second feat.
However, there is also an archaeological site of high archaeological importance, while the "Battle of the Mills" took place here, with the heroic victory of the Greeks, under difficult conditions, in which Makriyannis, facing a well-organized and armed tactical army of multiple forces, managed at the last moment to save the civilian population of Nafplio and preserved significant food and water supplies. This victory was extremely important for the entire revolution in the Peloponnese.
