> Peloponnesian settlement of Aigeira, in what is now northwestern Greece
The Peloponessus does not include the northwest of modern Greece. Aigeira appears to be in the Peloponessus, judging from the supplied map. Ergo Aigeira is not in northwestern Greece.

- denton-scratch 5y agoThe article says it's in the Peloponessus, and includes a map showing it in the Peloponessus. Google maps also shows it in the Peloponessus. The Peloponessus is in southern Greece. Even Athens is not in northwestern Greece.
