The Argos palace, an underground prison, a sea chest, and the Aegean island of Seriphos are the settings of the ancient Greek myth of Danae. Specifically, a prophecy that he would be killed by his own grandson led King Akrisios of Argos to lock his daughter, Princess Danae, in an underground bronze chamber. But the supreme god Zeus slithered in as a golden shower, and Danae gave birth to Perseus. Her father put her and her infant son adrift in a chest. But Danae and Perseus managed to reach the island of Seriphos. From there, Perseus forged a successful life that ultimately ended his grandfather's life and claimed his grandfather's throne.

The ancient Edonian city of Amphipolis at the mouth of the Strymon River and Mt Pangaeum in northeastern Greece are the settings of the myth of Thracian King Lycurgus, son of Dryas (I) and victim of Dionysus. Specifically, Lycurgus opposed the establishment of the worship of the wine god Dionysus. He persecuted the god's followers. But in his zeal, he accidentally killed his own son, Dryas (II). Ultimately, Lycurgus was imprisoned on a remote rocky slope before being dismembered by wild horses.

The ancient Thracian city of Salmydessus on the Black Sea is the setting of the myth of Thracian King Phineus, whose second wife Idaea killed his two sons by his first wife Cleopatra. Cleopatra was the daughter of Boreas, ancient Greek god of the north wind. Even though the son of the sea god Poseidon, Phineus ended up blind through the envious will of his uncle, chief god Zeus.
