	About Corinth
		Corinth was a maritime city located between two important seaports: the port of Lechaion on the Gulf of Corinth about two miles to the north and the port of Cenchreae on the Saronic Gulf about six miles east of Corinth.
		Corinth was an important city long before becoming a Roman colony in 44 B.C. In addition to the extant works of early writers, modern archaeology has contributed to knowledge of ancient Corinth.
		Corinth was located on the southwest end of the isthmus that joined the southern part of the Greek peninsula with the mainland to the north.

	Corinth : Introduction Frommers.com
		The only obstacle Corinth couldn't overcome was the isthmus itself: Ships had to be dragged from the port of Kenchreai on the east to the port of Lechaion on the west.
		This was when Corinth made and exported the distinctive red-and-black figured pottery decorated with lively animal motifs, examples of which are on display in the excavation museum.
		Although Corinth's greatest period of prosperity was between the 8th and 5th centuries B.C., most of the ancient remains here are from the Roman period.

	Corinth
		No doubt Corinth, like other large port cities, had plenty of prostitutes to service the sailors, but they were not sacred.
		When Paul arrived in 51 CE, the Corinth he saw was little more than 100 years old, but was five times as large as Athens and the capital of the province.
		Ancient Corinth, the original Corinth, founded in the 10th Century BCE, had been the richest port and the largest city in ancient Greece.

	Bible Study - Paul In Corinth

		Corinth is located about 50 miles / 80 kilometers west of Athens, on the narrow isthmus that connects the southern section of Greece, known as the Peloponnesus, to the Greek mainland.
		Paul's first stay at Corinth lasted for eighteen months (Acts 18:1-18), where he first met, lived and worked with Aquila and Priscilla, who had been among the Jews ordered out of Rome by Claudius (Acts 18:2).

	Articles - Canal
		Canals are so deeply identified with Venice that many canal cities have been nicknamed "the Venice of..." The city is built on marshy islands, with wooden piles supporting the buildings, so that here it is not so much the waterways which are man-made, as the land.
		The pace of draining of fenland and polder in the Low Countries quickened in the 14th century and canalization made the village of Amsterdam a port.
		In Europe and then in the young United States, inland canals preceded the development of railroads during the earliest phase of the Industrial Revolution; some canals were later drained and used as railroad rights-of-way.

		We had only passed through the canal 9 months before, but it still made a memorable experience and is a dramatic gateway to the Gulf of Corinth and the Aegean.
		There is an attractive abandoned monastery there which we had hoped to explore but it now seems to have been taken over by a few local fishermen, so we stayed aboard out of the wind and enjoyed the lovely scenery.
