History and politics
The people of Argos is the Argosians who have admixted extensively with the Zingarans. There are also strong Shemitish and Stygian strain.
Some time before the events of "The City of Skulls", King Milo defeats King Ferdrugo of Zingara, who likely followed Thamos (whose hand Conan took). The novel Conan the Liberator takes place during Milo's reign.
Argos was annexed by Aquilonia and then became part of the Hyrkanian empire.
When the Picts started breaking into Zingara, thousands of Zingarans attempting to flee the slaughter came into Argos, where they were met with the westward-sweeping Hyrkanians. The Picts pursued them destroying Argos.
In the next cataclysm, Argos was washed by the later Mediterranean.[1]
