"Korinth, the city of pots, prostitutes, and not much else."

―Kassandra^[src]

Korinth is a city in Greece and the capital of the Korinthia regional unit in the Peloponnese.

Geography

A coastal polis, Korinth controlled the Isthmus of Poseidon and the Diolkos which ran through it, due to the Port of Lechaion on the Gulf of Korinth and the Port of Kechries on the Aegean Sea.^[1] Above the polis itself towered the Akrokorinth,^[2] and the famous Fountain of Peirene graced the center of the polis, near its agora.^[3]

History

Mythology

According to mythology, both Helios and Poseidon wished to claim Korinth as their own. In the end, Helios was given Akrokorinth, while Poseidon got the Isthmus which was named in his honour, and wherein Korinthians built a temple for the god of the seas and oceans.^[4]

After his adventures with the rest of the Argonauts aboard the ship Argo, the legendary hero Jason dedicated the ship to Poseidon.^[5] Afterwards, Korinth served as the stage for the tragedy involving Jason, his first wife Medea, and second wife Glauke. Following his courtship of Glauke, Medea poisoned her rival,^[6] and then murdered her own sons, Mermeros and Pheres.^[7]

Korinth was also home of Bellerophon, the son of Korinth's King Glaukos.^[8] At the Spring of Peirene upon Akrokorinth, Bellerophon was said to have tamed the legendary pterippus Pegasos.^[8]
