Megara, City-State of
Megara, an ancient city in Attica, Greece, lies in the northern section of the Isthmus of Corinth opposite the island of Salamis, which belonged to Megara in archaic times, before being taken by Athens.
Megara is one of the four districts of Attica, embodied in the four mythic sons of King Pandion II, of whom Nisos was the ruler of Megara.
Megara is also a trade port, its people using their ships and wealth as a way to gain leverage on armies of neighboring poleis.
Megara specializes in the exportation of wool and other animal products including livestock such as horses.
It possesses two harbors, Pegae, to the west on the Corinthian Gulf and Nisaea, to the east on the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea.
