Brindisium (Brentesion)

The ancient Roman name for Brindisi, a modern coastal city on the Adriatic Sea. Formerly Brentesion in Greek, the city was renamed to Brindisium when the Romans took the city in 266 BCE, during the Pyrrhic war. Brentesion was one of the cities which took the side of Pyrrhus, king of Epeirus.

Though, the Argive hero Diomedes was named as the founder of Argyripa, he was also said to have founded Brindisium or Brentesion too. Apart from this, Brindisium didn't have much mythical importance.
