Ancient Greek city Tenea found by archaeologists
Archaeologists in Greece believe they have found the lost city of Tenea, thought to have been founded by captives of the legendary Trojan War.
They said they had discovered the remains of a housing settlement, jewellery, coins and several burial sites in the southern Peloponnese area.
Until now, archaeologists had a rough idea of where the city might have been located but had no tangible proof.
The items date from 4th Century BC to Roman times.
Excavation work around the modern-day village of Chiliomodi began in 2013, and "proof of the existence" of Tenea emerged in work carried out in September and early October this year, officials said.

Not sure if they expect to find older items, but it's possible and would help confirm the legend. Wish I could go help them dig.
