Princess Argjiro or Argyro (Albanian: Princeshë Argjiro) is a legendary figure in Albanian mythology. She is supposed to have lived in the 15th century. According to local Albanian folkloric traditions she lived in the 15th century and jumped off Gjirokastër Castle in the southern Albanian city of Gjirokastër, along with her child so as to avoid being captured by the Ottomans. Gjirokastër, located within historical Epirus takes its name from the Greek form Argyrokastro meaning silver castle and legend has it that the city was named for her, but the toponym long predates Princess Argjiro's time. In Greek tradition Princess Argyro or Argyri or Argyrini was a Byzantine princess and the eponymous founder of Gjirokaster. She built a castle there in the 15th century. Thus, the town is also known by some local Greeks as Castle of Argyro (Greek: Κάστρο της Αργυρούς). The fact that she was the founder of Gjirokaster isn't in agreement with archaeologists today. Neverless the settlement was most probably founded during the Byzantine period (5th-15th century).
