Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Argura (Ancient Greek: Ἄργουρα), called Argissa (Ἄργισσα) in Homer's Iliad, was a town and polis (city-state) in Pelasgiotis in ancient Thessaly, on the Peneus, and near Larissa. The name of the town was also given as Argusa (Ἆργουσσα) in some ancient sources. The distance between this place and Larissa is so small as to explain the remark of the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes, that the Argissa of Homer was the same as Larissa. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World and The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites identify the site of Agura with a place called Gremnos Magoula, approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west of Larissa, which has a nearby tumulus.

Summary from Български език / Bulgarian Wikipedia (bgwiki)

Аргиса (на старогръцки: Ἆργισσα) е град в Антична Тесалия на пеласгите, намиращ се на 40 стадия от другия пеласги – Атра. Тези два града, заедно с Лариса, са образували Пеласги триполис, в отличие от триполиса на север от Пеней в Северна Тесалия, който бил на пераебите.
