Aegean Islands
The Aegean Sea has a large number of islands, with Crete in the south being the largest island. The Aegean island also included several groups of islands such as the Northern Aegean, the Cyclades, the Northern Sporades and Southern Sporades (also known as Dodecanese Islands).
The Aegean Sea received its name from the Athenian king, Aegeus, the father of the hero Theseus. When a ship arrived to port with a black sail, Aegeus thought that his son had died in Crete. So in his grief, Aegeus leaped to his death and drowned in the sea.
