Gorgoneion Cave is a region specific building, in a Total War Saga: Troy. This can be built only in Volissos.

Description[]

Ancient Greeks viewed the world through the lens of mythology – the word itself being used in the context of ‘tales’ or ‘narratives’ and forming the basis of their folklore. A prominent approach to interpreting Greek myth is the Euhemeristic theory, dating from the 4th century BC. It suggests that stories of supernatural events and monsters are rooted in a poetic retelling of history when considering things outside of the Greeks' established world-view. As such, creatures like centaurs, giants and others were likely foreign tribes whose peculiar appearance and customs gave rise to incredible, exaggerated tales.
