1998 Trendall Lecture
1998 TRENDALL LECTURE Wealthy Corinth: The Archaeology of a Classical City Elizabeth Pemberton Delivered at The Institute of Classical Studies London 24 November 1998 Australian Academy of the Humanities, Proceedings 23, 1998 Wealthy Corinth: The Archaeology of a Classical City stinguished colleagues: I am honoured and delighted to give the second D.Trendall ' memorial lecture, for1 had the highest regard for DaleTrendall both as a scholar and as a person. It was his wish that this series of lectures, which heendowed, should promote thecause ofclassical studies and classical archaeology in Australia, to which hedevoted his life. I thank the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the Institute of Classical Studies, two institutions with which Dale was long associated, and also the Institute for Commonwealth Studies for co-sponsoring this talk. I would like to take the opportunity to remind you of the significance of DaleTrendall's scholarship. Karim Arafat recently wrote that Dale's achieve- ment might be even greater than Beazley's, as it was necessary to sort out the different fabrics of South Italy and Sicily, adifficult task, because of the cross fertilization between thedifferent pottery centres. His workcontinues through the Trendall Centre at La Trobe University, made possible by his bequest to theuniversity. Ascloseas I was toDale, Ididnot have the fortune to work with him. So I cannot talk about matters South Italian. My work has been primarily in Ancient Corinth and it is to that city we will go today. Two years ago, the American excavations at Corinth celebrated one hundred years of digging, and yet there is still so much we do not know about the city in all its successive periods.' We do not have many texts, and those wedo have werenot written from acorinthian viewpoint.

HESPERIA 78 (2OO9) KLEONAI, THE CORINTH- Pages ioj-163 ARGOS ROAD, AND THE "AXIS OF HISTORY" ABSTRACT The ancient roadfrom Corinth to Argos via the Longopotamos passwas one of the most important and longest-used natural routes through the north- eastern Peloponnese. The author proposes to identity the exact route of the road as it passed through Kleonaian territoryby combining the evidence of ancient testimonia, the identification of ancient roadside features, the ac- counts of early travelers,and autopsy.The act of tracing the road serves to emphasizethe prominentposition of the city Kleonaion this interstateroute, which had significant consequences both for its own history and for that of neighboring states. INTRODUCTION Much of the historyof the polis of Kleonaiwas shapedby its location on a numberof majorroutes from the Isthmus and Corinth into the Peloponnese.1The most importantof thesewas a majorartery for north- south travel;from the city of Kleonai,the immediatedestinations of this roadwere Corinthto the north and Argos to the south.It is in connec- tion with its roadsthat Kleonaiis most often mentionedin the ancient sources,and likewise,modern topographical studies of the areahave fo- cusedon definingthe coursesof these routes,particularly that of the main 1.

THE CORINTH BASIN, GREECE Richard
SEDIMENTARY FACIES EVOLUTION IN CONTINENTAL FAULT-BOUNDED BASINS FORMED BY CRUSTAL EXTENSION: THE CORINTH BASIN, GREECE Richard E.Ll. COLLIER October 1988 Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dept, of Earth Sciences University of Leeds LS2 9JT U.K. 1 Now Xenophanes holds that the earth is recurrently mingled with the sea and then as time passes is freed again of moisture. He puts forth such proofs as these: that shells are found far inland and on mountains; and that in the quarries of Syracuse imprints of a fish and of seaweed have been found, and in Paros the imprint of a small fry deep in the stone, and in Malta flat slabs [bearing the impressions] of all sorts of fish. He says that the imprint, made long ago when everything was covered with mud, then dried in the mud. 1: Xenophanes of Colophon (c.570-475 B.C.) Hippolytus, Refutations of All Heresies I 14.5-6 (Diels, Fragmente der Vorsokratiker I 122) 2 ABSTRACT Characteristic half-graben and graben geometries are generated by extensional tectonics. The sedimentary infill to such basins reflects their structural evolution. The actively extending basins of central Greece have provided an opportunity to study the mechanisms that control sediment distribution and the resultant facies patterns and geometries produced in such environments. The modern and precedent Neogene to Quaternary sediments studied, and their controlling processes, provide predictive templates for the analysis of controls acting upon ancient extensional basin fills. On a basinwide scale, facies patterns are controlled by the geometry of major basin-controlling normal faults and by the structural level of the basin - determining alluvial, lacustrine or marine environments.

An Ancient Fort on Mount Oneion
AN ANCIENT FORT ON MOUNT ONEION (PLATES 23-27) N additionto the mighty citadel of Acrocorinthand the Long Walls linking the city to its western port of Lechaion, ancient Corinth possessed another effective barrier to movement through the Isthmos in the long finger of Mount Oneion. Rising to a maximum height of 584 m. above sea-level, the rocky spine of this mountain extends for about seven kilometers on an east-west line which forms the southern boundary of the Corinthian Isthmos.' At its western end it is separated from Acro- corinth by a narrow but level pass which carries the Leukon river, the Peloponnesian railway, and the modern highway to Argos. At its eastern extremity Oneion drops steeply down to the sea and ends in a stubby promontory, the ancient Chersonesos, which marks the northern limit of the bay of Galataki and has at its base the Baths of Helen.2 The ancient port of Kenchreai on the Saronic Gulf lies a little more than a kilometer to the north. At the base of Chersonesos, below the steeply rising rocks of Mount Oneion, passed an important ancient road leading south from the Isthmos into the plain of Galataki, ancient Solygeia, and then to the hinterland of southeastern Corinthia, where the modern villages of Vlasseika, Katakali, and Sophiko are located. In wartime the road became a strategic artery; by following it around Mount Oneion and then turning westward past Solygeia, an invading army could easily make its way into the southern Corinthia, and thence to Argos, unhindered by either the defenses at the western end of Oneion or those of Acrocorinth and the Long Walls to Lechaion.

The Case of Tenea (Corinthia, Greece)
CHAPTER 8 Active faults and seismic hazard assessment at municipality level – the case of Tenea (Corinthia, Greece) H.D. Kranis, E.L. Lekkas, S.G. Lozios and A.S. Bakopoulou Faculty of Geology,University of Athens, Greece. Abstract We present the results of the multidisciplinary study on earthquake planning and protection for the municipality of Tenea, Corinthia. The paper focuses on the population centres and describes the geological effects in the case of activation of the fault structures that cross the area. The locations most prone to the occurrence of ground fracturing, liquefaction, rockfalls, landslides and local intensity amplification, caused by the basin edge effect, are presented. Moreover, we examine the cases where the road or railway connections may be disrupted because of fault reactivation and suggest the locations most susceptible to this. 1 Introduction The topic of earthquake hazard assessment has been the focus of numerous studies applying deterministic and probabilistic methods (see Yeats et al. [1] for a comprehensive review). In this paper we try to address the same issue using a quasi-deterministic technique, and to predict the problems that may arise from the occurrence of a medium or large earthquake within, or close to, the administrative boundaries of the municipality of Tenea, prefecture of Corinth, north-eastern Peloponnesus, Greece (Fig. 1). The administrative division (municipality) of Tenea has a total area of 162.4 km2, lies between 37º30’43’’S, 37º30’53’’N, 22º30’44’’W and 22º30’55’’E and is the result of a recent public administration law merging the multitude of small townships into larger administrative divisions, for the sake of simpler and more effective administration.

Church-Building in Ottoman Corinthia
Yannis D. Varalis Church-Building in Ottoman Corinthia Yannis D. Varalis Corinthian church-building during the Ottoman period is not easy to assess. Even today, in the aftermath of the post-modernist and digital era, the vast majority of Christian churches that were erected within the fabric of the settlements or in remote places as monastic retreats remain unpublished. Anastasios Orlandos’ pioneer study on byzantine churches of east Corinthia gave the opportunity to present and publish plans of some churches in the districts of Sophiko and Chiliomodi that date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.1 After the Second World War archaeologists and architects rarely focused on the ecclesiastical architecture of Corinthia and, when so, their studies were published in journals of secondary importance.2 Only in the last four decades the study of the so-called “post-byzantine”3 architecture has developed as a result of various reasons, the analysis of which surpasses the scope of this study.4 On the other hand, the present study of Corinthian religious architecture during the Ottoman period has greatly benefited from Tassos Gritsopoulos’ monumental book on the ecclesiastical history of Corinthia,5 Michael Kordosis’ dissertation on the history and the topography of the region during the Middle Ages,6 and Metaxoula Chrysafi-Zografou’s solid study of vernacular architecture.7 In this essay I shall present an overview of the ecclesiastical architecture of the Corinthian territory and argue that it presents significant aspects that enrich our knowledge on the role of the donors and the craftsmanship of the master builders. But first, some introductory points are in order.
