According to Greek legend, Parthenope was the
daughter of the god Achelous and the Muse
Terpsichore. She cast herself into the sea and
drowned when her songs failed to entice Odysseus.
Her body washed ashore at Naples, on the island
of Megaride, where the Castel dell'Ovo is now
located. When people from the city of Cumae
settled there, they named their city Parthenope
in her honour
34
A Roman myth tells a different version of the
tale, in which a centaur named Vesuvius was
enamored with Parthenope. Angered, Jupiter turned
the centaur into a stratovolcano and Parthenope
into the city of Naples. Thwarted in his desire,
Vesuvius' rage is manifested in the volcano's
frequent violent eruptions

Naples is the regional capital of Campania and
the third-largest municipality in Italy after
Rome and Milan. In 2017, around 967,069 people
lived within the city's administrative limits
while its province-level municipality has a
population of 3,115,320 residents. First settled
by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is
one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban
areas in the world. In the ninth century BC, a
colony known as Parthenope was established on the
Island of Megaride, later refounded as Neápolis
in the sixth century BC. The city was an
important part of Magna Graecia, played a major
role in the merging of Greek and Roman society
and a significant cultural centre under the
Romans. It was capital of the Duchy of Naples
(661-1139), then the Kingdom of Naples (1282 and
1816) and finally the Two Sicilies until the
unification of Italy in 1861
