	The Greek colony of Corcyra 5.97 Maria Daniels
		The colony at Corcyra, also known today as Corfu or Kerkyra, was founded first as a way station by Eretrians en route from Euboea to Italy, then by the Corinthians, who took the island and evicted the Eretrians in 733 B.C. Boardman 1980a, p.
		Corcyra possessed a good harbor and a strategic location, and the colony grew quickly, soon founding its own colonies, including Epidamnus, on the mainland 150 miles to the north (now called Durrës, in Albania), and "Black Corcyra" (melaina Korkura), modern-day Korcula in Croatia.
		With part of the proceeds from the fish, the people of Corcyra erected the Bull of Corcyra, a bronze sculpture by Theopropos of Aegina, which was dedicated in 480 BC.

		Corcyra knew they were coming and was worried cuz they knew they had won in the first place with a little luck and couldn't do it again.
		Corcyra was just causing trouble cuz none of the other colonies rebelled against Corinth, cuz they treated their colonies well (true).
		Corcyra had offered arbitration in the matter before going to Athens, but they had offered only when they thought they could win and already had the colony in their control.

		In the fifth year of the Peloponnesian war (427 BCE), Athens' ally Corcyra fell victim to internal strife, a vicious struggle between the commons, allies of Athens, and the oligarchs, who were eager to enlist the support of the Spartans.
		Instead of describing the successive revolutions, he merely describes the first, as "Corcyra gave the first example of most of the crimes" that were committed during the revolutions (Thucydides 3.84.1).
		Thucydides describes the revolution at Corcyra, exams the evidence provided by careful observation, and from there draws the conclusion that "human nature, always rebelling against the law and now its master, gladly showed itself ungoverned in passion, above respect for justice, and the enemy of all superiority" (Thucydides 3.84.2).

		As to other possible poles, Corcyra and Corinth were indeed powerful relative to most states in the region, but the context of that power must be understood.
		When Corcyra concluded that its security was jeopardized after its initial naval encounter with Corinth, it did not seek out other neutral states or try to increase its security through an emergency domestic military build-up program.
		The request of Corcyra for an Athenian alliance is evidence that the critical distribution of power was bipolar.

		This is the reason why Corcyra was also called Macris Isle, to be distinguished from Abantian Macris, which was Macris' first residence in the island of Euboea.
		It has also been told that when Heracles 1 arrived to the island in order to cleanse himself for the murder of his children by Megara, he there made love to the naiad Melite 2, daughter of the river god Aegaeus, and that their child Hyllus 1 was born in the isle of the Phaeacians.
		That could be so, but others assert that King Alcinous was the son of Nausithous 1, who once ruled the Phaeacians and was the man who settled them in the island of Scheria, after having fled from the CYCLOPES (or from those Cyclopes who resemble them), because they plundered them.

	Pelopennesian War: Historical Background: The Prelude to War
		Corcyra realized that while its neutrality had allowed it to flourish as an open trading state, without committed allies it was vulnerable to greater powers in times of conflict.
		Corcyra sent ambassadors to Athens, the other great power in the Greek world, and presented their case for a new alliance.
		Shortly after their alliance with Corcyra had been extended, Athens sent ten ships to Corcyra under the expressed orders to involve themselves in battle only if Corcyra itself was in danger of an enemy landing.

		The place is a colony from Corcyra, founded by Phalius, son of Eratocleides, of the family of the Heraclids, who had according to ancient usage been summoned for the purpose from Corinth, the mother country.
		Now it is our policy to be beforehand with her--that is, for Corcyra to make an offer of alliance and for you to accept it; in fact, we ought to form plans against her instead of waiting to defeat the plans she forms against us.
		If it sailed to Corcyra and threatened a landing on her coast, or in any of her possessions, they were to do their utmost to prevent it.
