		At the extremity of Hymettus, where it projects into the Saronic Gulf, was the promontory of Zoster ("the Girdle"), which was so called because it girdles and protects the neighbouring harbour; but in consequence of the name, a legend was attached to it, to the effect that Latona had loosed her girdle there.

		But the Corinthians and allies had started for Acarnania without any idea of fighting at sea, and with vessels more like transports for carrying soldiers; besides which, they never dreamed of the twenty Athenian ships venturing to engage their forty-seven.
		The Peloponnesians ranged their vessels in as large a circle as possible without leaving an opening, with the prows outside and the sterns in; and placed within all the small craft in company, and their five best sailors to issue out at a moment's notice and strengthen any point threatened by the enemy.

		Yet the focus of I Corinthians is not on doctrinal theology but pastoral theology.
		Perhaps what sheds the most light on the subject, in the midst of the current debate within the church, is the way the apostle leads the Corinthians to a balanced practice of speaking in tongues, when he legitimizes it and doesn't recognize anyone's right to prohibit it (ch.14).

	Ancient coins of Corinthia
		The types of the Corinthian coins refer to the myth of Bellerophon and Pegasos, and to the worship of Athena Χαλινιτις, for she it was who assisted Bellerophon to subdue the wondrous winged horse.
		The region in which the Corinthian money circulated was therefore at no time confined to the narrow isthmus and limited territory of the town of Corinth.
		From this time until the middle of the third century the Pegasos staters continued to be issued in large quantities, chiefly, it is to be inferred, for the purposes of trade with Italy and Sicily, where the largest finds of this class of coin have been brought to light.

		There is no evidence to indicate the site of the ship sheds, however it is natural that a harbour complex belonging to one of the strongest naval forces of the ancient world would include this feature.

		The volume is a welcome addition to the early archaeology of the Isthmia and Corinthia, an important contribution to Early Iron Age Greece generally, and a critical volume in our understanding of the early history of the area that was to become the Sanctuary of Poseidon.
		By the time we reach "Corinthian Early Protocorinthian" (nos.406-465), there is something of a sense of relief, as we return to a sequence well established thanks to the work of Johansen, Payne, Dunbabin and Robertson, Amyx, Benson and Neeft.
		Although I would welcome a study on Corinthian iconography by Morgan, a report presenting material from an excavation, particularly from a site that produced little figurative pottery, is hardly the appropriate venue.

		Located on the narrow isthmus that connects southern and central Greece, Corinth became great through its geography: It guarded the landroute along the isthmus, and it controlled harbors on both shores, eastward on the Saronic Gulf and westward on the aptly named Corinthian Gulf.
		New northwestern colonies—Ambracia, Apollonia, and others—were founded to develop the western trade route and guard the approaches to the Corinthian Gulf.
		With Periander's paving of a five-mile-long dragway across the isthmus' narrowest section, merchant ships could be trundled on trolleys between the eastern and western seas, thus eliminating the voyage around the Peloponnese and bringing to Corinth a rich revenue in tolls from non-Corinthian shipping.

		Since bedrock could not be reached, some 150 to 200 steel pipes were driven into the sand and gravel at the bottom of the gulf to stabilize the soils.
		The construction methods used for the foundations were those commonly employed in building offshore concrete platforms: Each foundation base was constructed to a height of 15 m in a dry dock and then towed and moored to a wet dock.
		Here the foundation was completed with the construction of the conical shaft and then towed to its final position in the gulf and lowered into the water.

		Corinth was frequently an enemy of Athens and an ally of Sparta in the Peloponnesian League.
		In 431 BCE, one of the factors leading to the Peloponnesian War was the dispute between Corinth and Athens over a Corinthian colony, which probably stemmed from the traditional trade rivalry.
