"Korinth, the city of pots, prostitutes, and not much else."
―Kassandra[src]
Korinth

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

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]
