Corinth

a famous city of Greece within the Morea (ancient Peloponnesus), near the isthmus of the same name, between the gulfs of Lepantc on the W., and of Adgina on the B., 48 miles W. of Athens. Corinth was destroyed by an earthquake in 1858, and has now but few remains of its ancient splendor. The traces of the ancient walls are still discernible, but the principal and only interesting monument of antiquity is the citadel or A croc or in thus.
