Liguria

Liguria is a coastal region of northwest Italy, the principal city being Genoa, which was a small town called Genua in ancient times. As far as I can tell, there were no ancient myths or legends involving Genoa.

However, ancient Liguria extended beyond the modern boundaries of Italy into southeastern France (Gaul), and it included the modern French city of Marseille, which was then called Massalia or Massilia.

By the time of Augustus, the part of the region of Liguria on the French side (southeastern Gaul or southeastern of modern France) became the Roman province Narbonensis, or more fully in Latin, Gallia Narbonensis. Narbonensis was named after a Roman legionary post. It was the first part of Gaul to become fully Romanized.

Heracles, during his 10th labour, passed through Liguria and fought Ialebion and Dercynus, sons of Poseidon, near Massalia. Zeus sent a shower of stones, and Heracles used these stones to repel a large force of Ligurians.

The Ligurians actually spoke Ligurian, which is not classified under the Indo-European family of languages.
