Megara
Megara is a Greek city on the isthmus between Attica and the Peloponnese, roughly midway between Athens and Corinth. It gave its name to the Megarian school of philosophy, founded by Euclid of Megara, a follower of Socrates. After Socrates' death Plato and other associates are said by ancient tradition to have withdrawn to Megara; the Cynic writer Teles also worked there.
