The citadel, or Acrocorinthus, rising precipitously on the S. to a height of 1886 ft. was separated by a ravine from Oneium, a range of hills which runs E. to the isthmus entrance.
The territory of Corinth was mostly rocky and unfertile; but its position at the head of two navigable gulfs clearly marked it out as a commercial centre.
Even from the village, the view over the gulf,including Parnassus with its giant neighbors on the N., Cyllene and its neighbors on the W., and Geraneia on the N.E., is very fine.

The Geraneia Mountain Range, which begins from Megara and ends at the Cape of Heraion, had always been an obstacle to people who wanted to go over it.
In the time of Deucalion, during a very heavy flood, when the water reached the tops of the mountains, Megaros, the son of Zeus and one of the Nymphai Sithnides, was saved from drowning by swimming towards the peak of the Geraneia Mountains.
The same birds are connected with the other legend, about Ibycus, an ancient lyric poet, who was murdered by some thieves, somewhere near the Geraneia Mountains, while he was on his way to Isthmus.

Some very ancient names for places, such as Korinthos derive from a pre-Greek, "Pelasgian" language; it seems likely that Corinth was also the site of a Bronze Age Mycenean palace-city, like Mycenae, Tiryns or Pylos.

 The Greek Anthology : Epitaphs
Not dust nor the light weight of a stone, but all this sea that thou beholdest is the tomb of Erasippus; for he perished with his ship, and in some unknown place his bones moulder, and the sea-gulls alone know them to tell.
Cloudcapt Geraneia, cruel steep, would thou hadst looked on far Ister and long Scythian Tanais, and not lain nigh the surge of the Scironian sea by the ravines of the snowy Meluriad rock: but now he is a chill corpse in ocean, and the empty tomb here cries aloud of his heavy voyage.
Thymodes also, weeping over unlooked-for woes, reared this empty tomb to Lycus his son; for not even in a strange land did he get a grave, but some Thynian beach or Pontic island holds him, where, forlorn of all funeral rites, his shining bones lie naked on an inhospitable shore.

 All Buddhists, by Yao Feng of Corinthia
ark, mad clouds had met over Geraneia Mountain as if there was no other mountain to solve their disputes.
Perhaps they wanted to show off for the goddess, Hera, or maybe choose her as a referee.
The next morning my anxiety had increased, but the sun was showing its smile through the window, promising a good journey to the mountain.
