Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

Corinth stands proudly on the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, a vital land bridge connecting the mainland of Greece to the Peloponnese. Its strategic position between the lush blue waters of the Corinthian Gulf and the tranquil Saronic Gulf has established Corinth as a bustling hub of trade and commerce, with two bustling harbors facilitating connections to both the thriving Aegean and Ionian seas. This rich seafaring legacy not only fuels the city's wealth but also intensifies its rivalries with Athens, as merchants and leaders alike vie for dominance over vital trade routes.
