Cumae is probably the first Greek mainland colony in the west and home of a sibyl (Greek prophetess, whose cavern still exists).
Founded about 750 BCE by Greeks from Chalcis and Eretria in a location that was already occupied, about twelve miles (nineteen kilometers) west of modern Naples, Cumae comes to control the most fertile portions of the Campanian plain.
