Wealthy Korinth: Masters of Trade and Colonization

[@celdur4635]

I'm so happy that you are doing ancient Greek cities series! :D

[@ScythianGryphon]

The Corinthian column is one of three main types of columns in classical architecture. The Corinthian helmet is the most iconic Greek helmet. The letters to Corinthians is the staple of the Eastern Orthodox service.

[@andywomack3414]

In the sixth grade I did a report on the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian column styles. Still got the mental images from that report.

Akrokorinthos is my favorite spot I visited in Peloponnese. You can basically jump the "canal" lol

I really love the ancient Greece videos!

Great video!

Hey Thersites, do you think you’ll be able to cover the Seleucids in the future? I’m dying for your detailed coverage of Antiochus III. 🤟🏼

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

Definitely.

Corinth was where Jason took Medea where he abandoned her. Seems Athenian playwrights liked to set their plays in cities hostile toward Athens. For such an important ancient city it does not seem to get the attention it deserves. Did Corinth have playwrights who wrote dramas and comedies?

I am not sure, but there were several Olympic champions (Andromenes, Xenophon and others)

[@luissalcedo6493]

Any chance you'll cover Massila?

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

Probably.

[@davidnguyen467]

What Korinth lacked in natural resources, they made up for with trade. Very industrious Greeks. If only they had the resources they lacked combined with their trade then they would have dominated at least 1 side of Greece, Be it the arcadians of northern Peloponnese or Eastern Greece of the atolians

[@MaryBennett]

I just noticed this video. Very interesting, but did not Miletus have more colonies than Korinth?

[@johnbooth1110]

2 nd century AD Pausanias wrote Korinthos was originly a Phoenician Ship building settlement, Corinth would be sacked by the Romans over how they were building ships for the Carthaginians,

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

This series on the different cities is just what the doctor ordered. You planning to do Thebes? That's my favorite. They're such a fucking meme city-state.

[@catalinsoare1261]

Maybe you can make a video about the emergence of the Romanian people. On one hand, there were the Byzantines who called themselves Romans, but who adopted Greek as their language, on the other hand there was a population North of the Danube who didn't call themselves Romans, but spoke a Latin language.

[@kaloarepo288]

Never seen the place spelled with a "K" before always with a "C."

[@MegaTang1234]

Ahh, so most of those greek colonies Rome really liked were corinthian colonies. Nice to know

[@tacocruiser4238]

I was under the impression that Epidamnus was a colony of Corcyra. Corcyra was the first city that the people of Epidamnus went to ask for help. They only went to Corinth after Corcyra rejected them. Corcyra was the mother city. Corinth was more like the grandmother city to Epidamnus. I guess I'm wrong....

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

Epidamnos was a Korinthian colony which happened to be near Kerkyra. Kerkyra rose in prominence and its proximity made it a more natural place to turn for aid in times of need.

[@tacocruiser4238]

@@ThersitestheHistorian I think Thucydides is my favorite ancient historian. He just tells it like it is. No bullshit.

Surprised there are no jokes about "fine corinthian leather" here. What is the world coming to?

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

Her gravestone had a winged lion or a griffin or something like that on top, so even the monument that the Korinthians erected was not terribly helpful in determining what she looked like.
