Editing Aegina (section)

===Mythology===
In [[Greek mythology]], [[Aegina (mythology)|Aegina]] was a daughter of the river god [[Asopus]] and the [[nymph]] [[Metope (mythology)|Metope]]. She bore at least two children: [[Menoetius (mythology)|Menoetius]] by [[Actor (mythology)|Actor]], and [[Aeacus]] by the god [[Zeus]]. When Zeus abducted Aegina, he took her to [[Oenone]], an island close to [[Attica]]. Here, Aegina gave birth to Aeacus, who would later become king of Oenone; thenceforth, the island's name was Aegina.

Aegina was the gathering place of Myrmidons; in Aegina they gathered and trained. Zeus needed an elite army and at first thought that Aegina, which at the time did not have any villagers, was a good place. So he changed some ants ({{langx|grc|Μυρμύγια}}, Myrmigia) into warriors who had six hands and wore black armour. Later, the [[Myrmidons]], commanded by [[Achilles]], were known as the most fearsome fighting unit in [[Greece]].
