The Corinth Canal is a waterway that crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth to link the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf. As such, the canal separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, turning it into an island.
It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), was the first to conceive of the idea of digging the Corinth Canal. As the project was too complicated given the limited technical capabilities of the times, Periander constructed the diolkos, a stone road which allowed ships to be transferred on wheeled platforms.
In ancient times, this was a solid land crossing—used by travelers, merchants, and even the Apostle Paul during his journeys to Corinth.

Corinthe antique (Archaia Korinthos)
The area of Ancient Corinth is one of the most historically important regions of Greece, inhabited continuously from prehistoric times to the Roman and early Christian periods. Due to its strategic location between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, Corinth became a powerful city-state and a major commercial center of the ancient world. The region includes important archaeological sites such as the ancient city of Corinth, the Acrocorinth hill fortress, the ancient port of Lechaion, and several Roman and early Christian monuments, making the area a place of great archaeological and historical significance.
Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans demolished Corinth in 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.

Porte du Lion
La Porte des Lions était l'entrée principale de la citadelle de Mycènes, dans le sud de la Grèce, datant de l'âge du bronze. Érigée au XIIIe siècle avant J.-C., vers 1250 avant J.-C., au nord-ouest de l'acropole, elle doit son nom à la sculpture en relief représentant deux lionnes ou lions en pose héraldique qui surplombe l'entrée. La Porte des Lions est la seule sculpture monumentale mycénienne subsistante, ainsi que la plus grande sculpture de la mer Égée préhistorique. C'est le seul monument de la Grèce de l'âge du bronze à arborer un motif iconographique préservé, et la seule image en relief décrite dans la littérature de l'Antiquité classique, si bien qu'elle était bien connue avant l'archéologie moderne.
