corinth greece
1:56
A little montage of our visit to the ruins of Corinth Greece. Corinth, or Korinth (Greek: Κόρινθος, Kórinthos) is a city in Greece. In antiquity it was a city-state, on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnesus to the mainland of Greece. To the west of the isthmus lies the Gulf of Corinth, to the east lies the Saronic Gulf. Corinth is about 48 miles (78 km) southwest of Athens. The isthmus, which was in ancient times traversed by hauling ships over the rocky ridge on sledges, is now cut by a canal. タグ:greecevacationtripsitetravel 投稿日: October 27, 2007, 3:34 am 閲覧数: 1170 投票: 4.20(５点満点) 4 人の平均
corinth: mor of greek colonies
3:11
The song is ΠΑΠΑΡΟΥΝΑ (Poppy) by Notis Sfakianakis (ΝΟΤΗΣ ΣΦΑΚΙΑΝΑΚΗΣ). The paintings are mostly by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema.
There is a lot to say on a city such as Corinth. She has mythical heroes like Bellerophon who rode Pegasus and slaughtered the Chimera. She is also the home of Arion the great poet. Periander, one of the seven wise men of Greece is also Corinthian.
Corinth was by far the richest city of Ancient Greece. She was inhabited by Dorians, and her artisans created great hellenic sculptures and weapons. The shield and helmet of Corinth was the model for most of the other Greek city-states. The Corinthian column structure was especially favoured during the Hellenist Era after Alexander the Great.
Corinth's wealth came from arts, trade, commerce, shipping and science. Ancient Greeks used to say 'not everyone can afford to live in Corinth'.
Corinth also had many colonies, such as Syracuse in Sicily, Apollonia, Epidamnus and Ambracia in Epirus. Corinth's troubles with some of its colonies led to the Peloponnesian war.
Corinthian women had long hair tied in the back with a knot held together with ivory and silver hairpins. Paul the Apostle instructed these women to cover their beauty (Corinthians 11: 2-6). And yet Paul was also inspired to write some of the most beautiful things on Love when he was inspired by Corinth (I Corinthians 13: 4-7).

global treasures corinth korinthos greece
1:19
GTR-DVD-1049 - Between the Greek mainland and Peloponnes are the extensive ruins of ancient Corinth. Of the city's former magnificence, only a few Doric columns of the 6th century Apollo Temple have survived. Due to its favourable location and fertile soil, three thousand years ago during the Neolithic period the first settlements were established in this region.
146 B.C. marked the end of Classical Corinth. The Romans devastated and plundered the ancient metropolis and enslaved its people and for almost a hundred years the ruins were uninhabited but, due to Caesar, new life returned to the city.
Surrounded by the pure, wild beauty of Nature, the ruins blend harmoniously into the magnificence of the surrounding landscape. From a medieval fortress, in the distance there are the remains of an ancient Corinthian port and even today shipping plays an important role in the everyday life of this ancient city.
Global Treasures - History's Most Protected Monuments - Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what we pass on to future generations. our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa's Serengeti, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make up our world's heritage. Join us as we explore one of these protected monuments. タグ:korinthosgreececulturedestinationlandmark 投稿日: April 25, 2008, 7:56 am 閲覧数: 382 投票: 5.00(５点満点) 1 人の平均

civil war life - left for dead pt 5: battle of corinth
3:13
Part 5 - Battle of Corinth. Pain, destruction and suffering cannot conquer the infallible war hero Oscar Jackson in Left for Dead. He lives through injuries that would overcome most men. A natural leader, Jackson abandons his studies of law to recruit his own company of Ohio soldiers, who then serve with the Ohio Brigade.
During the battle of Corinth, Jackson is struck in the face with a musket ball. Thought to be mortally wounded, the captain is left for dead. The invincible Jackson not only survives -- but leads his company until the end of the war, despite the lingering effects of the bullet still lodged in his head. Jackson thrives both on and off of the battlefield, later becoming a U.S. Congressman.
