Argos (Greek: Ἄργος, Árgos, [ˈarɣos]) is a city and a former municipality in Argolis, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Argos-Mykines, of which it is a municipal unit. It is 11 kilometres from Nafplion, which was its historic harbour. A settlement of great antiquity, Argos has been continuously inhabited for the past 7,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Greece and Europe. The city is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network. At a strategic location on the fertile plain of Argolis, Argos was a major stronghold during the Mycenaean era. In classical times Argos was a powerful rival of Sparta for dominance over the Peloponnese, but was eventually shunned by other Greek city-states after remaining neutral during the Greco-Persian Wars. Numerous ancient monuments can be found in the city today, the most famous of which is the renowned Heraion of Argos, though agriculture (particularly citrus production) is the mainstay of the local economy.

basement where the sex goes
centuries of seed and stain
underwater we remain
Nederlander profile
round and nose of straight line
dark hair buzzed and figurine
standing right beside me
hang out by the fruit machine
right next to the bathroom
skinhead muscle polo red
cruising with a passion
lead me to the Sanifair
reach into my underwear
Damrak leads to Rokin
everyone is smoking
stand aloof in front of me
we ignore each other so perfectly
head to the darkroom so narrow
