Seven nations inhabit the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese. Two of these are aboriginal and are now settled in the land where they lived in the old days, the Arcadians and Cynurians. One nation, the Achaean, has never left the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese, but it has left its own country and inhabits another nation's land.

[2] The four remaining nations of the seven are immigrants, the
Dorians and
Aetolians and
Dryopians and
Lemnians. The
Dorians have many famous cities, the
Aetolians only
+Elis [21.4,37.8833] (Perseus) Elis, the
Dryopians
Hermione and
+Asine [22.8833,37.525] (Perseus) Asine near
Laconian Cardamyle, the
Lemnians all the
Paroreatae.
[3] The
Cynurians are aboriginal and seem to be the only
Ionians, but they have been Dorianized by time and by
Argive rule. They are the
Orneatae and the perioikoi. All the remaining cities of these seven nations, except those I enumerated, stayed neutral. If I may speak freely, by staying neutral they medized.
