The Altar of Melikertes was an altar located on the shore north of Port of Kechries within Isthmus of Poseidon in Korinthia, Greece.
The altar was dedicated to Melikertes, a mythical prince of Boeotia and the son of Ino, whose corpse was found and buried by the founder of Korinth Sisyphos. Sisyphos went on to establish a cult around the deceased prince, and as part of it, created the Isthmian Games to celebrate him.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the altar was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
