Roussolakkos

Roussolakkos is the site of a Minoan city, located near Palekastro, Crete.^[1] The Bronze Age town was occupied from Early Minoan IIA to Late Minoan IIIB, and its remains are relatively well preserved. A later Greek temple to Diktaian Zeus was built at the nearby Elaea promontory.^{[citation needed]}

In Greek mythology, the site was regarded as the birthplace of Diktaian Zeus.^{[citation needed]} and the location where Jason and the Argonauts confronted Talos, the man of bronze, a generation before the Trojan War.^{[citation needed]}
