Korinthia is a regional unit of Greece in the Peloponnese. Named after its main city, Korinth, the area encompassed part of the Isthmus of Poseidon, the only land route between the Peloponnese and Attika, and was strategically placed in times of war between Sparta and Athens.

During the Peloponnesian War, the misthios Kassandra visited Korinthia on the advice of Alkibiades, who suggested that Anthousa, the leader of the hetaera, may have information on her mother's whereabouts.[2] In exchange for information, Kassandra worked with Anthousa and her hetaerai to eliminate The Monger, a member of the Cult of Kosmos who had seized control of Korinth.[3]
While there, Kassandra also met the Spartan officer Brasidas, who had been sent to assist Korinth with The Monger situation.[1]
