	CORINTH - LoveToKnow Article on CORINTH
		It was connected in historic times with its western port of Lechaeum by two continuous walls, with Cenchreae and Schoenus on the east by chains of fortifications.
		By the side of the Lechaeum road, near the steps leading to the propylaea, were found in deep diggings thirteen early Geometric vases.
		On the Lechaeum road, on which a bewildering wealth of fountains and statues is enumerated, only the Baths of Eurycles below the plane tree were found; deep diggings were made into them, and the foundations of the faade laid bare.

		Now the tragic fate which befell the division was on this wise: It was the unvaried custom of the men of Amyclae to return home at the Hyacinthia,[13] to join in the sacred paean, a custom not to be interrupted by active service or absence from home or for any other reason.
		At the right moment the general in command of the garrison at that place had posted the garrison troops of the allies to guard the walls during his absence, and put himself at the head of his division of heavy infantry with that of the cavalry,[14] and led the Amyclaeans past the walls of Corinth.
		Their friends in Lechaeum, perceiving them, embarked in boats and sailed round until they were immediately under the hillock.

	Corinth
		A remarkable feature was the Acrocorinthus, a vast citadel of rock, which rises abruptly to the height of 2000 feet above the level of the sea, and the summit of which is so extensive that it once contained a whole town.
		The situation of Corinth, and the possession of its eastern and western harbors, Cenchreae and Lechaeum, are the secrets of its history.
		Corinth had three good harbors (Lechaeum, on the Corinthian, and Cenchrea and Schoenus on the Saronic Gulf), and Thus commanded the traffic of both the eastern and the western seas.

		It was in furtherance of this design that two men--Pasimelus and Alcimenes--undertook to creep through a watercourse and effect a meeting with Praxitas the polemarch of the Lacedaemonians, who was on garrison duty with his own division in Sicyon.
		Praxitas, knowing from previous experience that the two men might be relied upon, believed their statement; and having arranged for the further detention in Sicyon of the division which was on the point of departure, he busied himself with plans for the enterprise.
		Lechaeum was not taken by the Lacedaemonians until the Corinthian long walls had been rebuilt by the Athenians.

	Epistolae Flaviae: Why Do "Research"?
		But when I visited Lechaeum yesterday, I was surprised by how much it resembled my mental picture of it.
		I can imagine slaves unloading the ships and their cries as they pull the empty hull up onto its cart to transport it across diolkos and the four miles of dry barren stony land.
		Here in Lechaeum the water is a flat pewter colour, lit by shafts of silver light from a cool sun.

		These were our reflections as we passed up the gulf on a splendid summer evening, the mountains of Arcadia showing their snowy tops of a deep rose colour in the setting sun.
		This arrangement was then necessary, as the port of Lechaeum did not afford the traveller even the luxury of a decent meal.
		The form of the country, as you ascend from Lechaeum to Corinth, is very marked and peculiar.

		The city was also blessed with two harbours, at Cenchreae, 14 kilometres to the east on the Saronic Gulf, and Lechaeum 2.5 kilmetres west on the Corinthian Gulf.
		The wealth of Corinth was derived largely from shipping and commerce since the ports of Lechaeum and Cenchreae were connected by an overland ship-road.
		The cargo from large ships was transported over the narrow peninsula while smaller ships were actually hauled overland from one port to the other by a series of rollers.

		Strategically located guarding the narrow isthmus that connects the Peloponnesus (as southern Greece is called) to the mainland, it was a powerful commercial center near two seaports only 4 miles apart.
		Lechaeum, the western harbor in the Corinthian Gulf was the trading port to Italy and Sicily, and Cenchreae, the eastern harbor in the Saronic Gulf, was the port for the eastern Mediterranean countries.
		By 400 BCE, a double wall ran from the city to Lechaeum to protect a two mile rock paved street, about 40' wide, leading to the port.

	Strabo Geography 8.6.22
		[8.6.22] The beginning of the seaboard on the two sides is, on the one side, Lechaeum, and, on the other, Cenchreae, a village and a harbor distant about seventy stadia from Corinth.
		Lechaeum lies beneath the city, and does not contain many residences; but long walls about twelve stadia in length have been built on both sides of the road that leads to Lechaeum.
		In the interval between Lechaeum and Pagae there used to be, in early times, the oracle of the Acraean Hera; and here, too, is Olmiae, the promontory that forms the gulf in which are situated Oenoe and Pagae, the latter a stronghold of the Megarians and Oenoe of the Corinthians.

		In the tenth or eleventh century the order became extinct in the Latin Church, but continued in the Greek Church till the end of the twelfth century.
		Cenchrea was a sea-port on the east side of the isthmus which joined the Morea to Greece, as the Lechaeum was the sea-port on the west side of the same isthmus.
		As the Lechaeum opened the road to the Ionian sea, so Cenchrea opened the road to the AEgean; and both were so advantageously situated for commerce that they were very rich.

		Corinth was serviced by two ports: Lechaeum on the Gulf of Corinth, which was a little more than a mile to the north of Corinth and led to Italy; and Cenchreae on the Saronic Gulf, which was a little more than six miles to the east and led to Asia Minor (Harrison, 1985, pp.
		Their goods were carried across the five-mile wide isthmus, and then were reloaded in the port at Lechaeum aboard ships bound for Italy.
		Thus, Corinth was in a geographical position to control all traffic between Asia Minor in the east and Italy in the west, and between mainland Greece in the north and the Peloponnesian peninsula in the south.

		Perched on a narrow strip of land connecting the Peloponnesus, a peninsula of southern Greece, with central Greece and the rest of Europe, Corinth enjoyed a steady flow of trade.
		The city had two splendid harbor cities-Cenchreae, the eastern port on the Saronic Gulf; and Lechaeum, the western port on the Corinthian Gulf.

		The Corinthian harbours of Lechaeum and Cenchrae are called after Leches and Cenchrias, sons of Poseidon and Pirene 2, daughter of the river god Achelous.
		Pirene 2, who others call daughter of Oebalus 1 and Batia 2, became a spring because of her many tears, shed in lamentation for her son Cenchrias, who was unintentionally killed by Artemis.

		Two harbors accommodated the city's position of control over the isthmus between two seas.
		Lechaeum served the westward facing the Corinthian gulf, and Cenchreae functioned as the harbor on the eastward facing the Saronic Gulf.
		The territory included quite a variety of terrain: the coastal plain, which was abundantly watered and fertile; relatively flat areas further from the coast, which were fairly well-watered; areas of arable sloping hills; and mountainous regions.

	An Overview Of The Book Of 1 Corinthians
		Corinth had two harbors, Cenchrea on the eastern shore of the isthmus on the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea and Lechaeum on the western shore of the isthmus on the Gulf of Corinth of the Adriatic Sea.
		From the port of Cenchrea the smaller vessels with their cargoes still loaded were rolled overland across the three and a half mile wide isthmus to the port of Lechaeum, where they were relaunched to continue their voyage across the Adriatic Sea to Italy and Rome.
		The larger ships had their cargoes unloaded at Cenchrea and transported overland across the isthmus to Lechaeum, where the cargoes were reloaded onto waiting ships to carry them to Italy.

		Its population at this time has been estimated at between 600,000 and 700,000, by far the larger portion of whom were slaves.
		Its magnificent harbors, Cenchrea and Lechaeum, opening to the commerce of East and West, were crowded with ships, and its streets with travelers and merchants from almost every country under heaven.
		Even in that old pagan world the reputation of the city was bad; it has been compared (Baring-Gould, Study of St. Paul, 241) to an amalgam of new-market, Chicago and Paris, and probably it contained the worst features of each.

		Since the time of Paul, a canal has been put through the isthmus, and Corinth is no longer an important city.

		He attempted by night to pass through Lechaeum, but failed, and lost some men; so that Cleomenes and his army were mightily encouraged, and so flushed with the victory, that they went merrily to supper; and Antigonus was very much dejected, being driven, by the necessity he was in, to most unpromising attempts.
